H4051 1 book

Migron, a place near Gibeah where Saul camped with his troops (1Sa.14.2), and a town mentioned in Isaiah's prophecy about the Assyrian invasion (Isaiah 10:28).

Where is Migron in the Bible?

Migron was a location in the territory of Benjamin in ancient Israel, situated near Gibeah in the central highlands. It appears in the Bible primarily in two significant contexts: first, as the place where King Saul camped with his army during his conflict with the Philistines, as recorded in 1 Samuel 14:2, and second, in Isaiah's prophecy describing the Assyrian invasion's advance through Judah in Isaiah 10:28. Though its exact modern location remains uncertain, Migron was strategically positioned in the Benjamin region north of Jerusalem, making it an important waypoint in both military campaigns and prophetic warnings about foreign conquest. The mention of Migron in Isaiah's prophecy underscores the vulnerability of Judah's territory during the threatened Assyrian incursion.
