the uttermost part of Gibeah Here at any rate Gibeahseems to denote a district. See note on 1 Samuel 10:5. Saul was stationed probably at the northern extremity of it, under " the pomegranate tree which is in Migron." So we find him afterwards "under the tamarisk in Gibeah" (1 Samuel 22:6). Migroncannot be the place mentioned in Isaiah 10:28, which was north of Michmash. The name means precipice, and probably occurred frequently in this rocky region.
