    Description

    Migron in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Migron is mentioned twice in the Bible, first as a place near Gibeah where King Saul camped with his troops during a battle against the Philistines (1Sa.14.2). Saul was staying under a pomegranate tree in Migron, while his son Jonathan launched a daring attack on a Philistine outpost.

    The second mention of Migron is in Isaiah's prophecy about the Assyrian invasion of Judah (Isaiah 10:28). In this passage, Migron is listed among the towns that the Assyrian army would pass through on their way to Jerusalem. The exact location of Migron is uncertain, but it is believed to have been situated near Gibeah, in the territory of Benjamin, a short distance north of Jerusalem.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
