1 Samuel 14:2

Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah. I.e. the part nearest Geba. Under , not a , but the pomegranate tree , the well known tree at Migron. Saul evidently shared to the full in the love of trees common among the Israelites (see 1 Samuel 22:6 ). The Hebrew word for pomegranate is Rimmon, but there is no doubt that the tree is here meant, and not the rock Rimmon ( 20:45 , 20:47 ), so called probably from a fancied resemblance to the fruit. Migron , said to mean a cliff was apparently a common name for localities in this mountainous district, as in Isaiah 10:28 we read of one lying to the north of Michmash, whereas this is to the south.
