27. Michmas] in the tribe of Benjamin, on a hill overlooking the gorge of the same name, which was the scene of Jonathan’s victory over the Philistines (1Sa_13:23; 1Sa_13:14). It was evidently a strong situation (cf. 1Sa_13:2; 1Sa_13:5; 1Sa_13:16). Geba was on the S., Michmash on the N. side of the gorge. This agrees with the passage in Isa_10:28-29 where the march of an invading Assyrian army from the N. is described, ‘At Michmash he layeth up his baggage: they are gone over the pass; they have taken up their lodging at Geba: Ramah trembleth’.
