Isaiah 10:29 - Exposition

They are gone over the passage . The "passage of Michmash" ( 1 Samuel 13:23 )—the deeply sunken valley, called now the Wady Sutveinit , between Michmash ( Mukkmas ) and Geba ( Jeba ). They have taken up their lodging at Geba ; or, at Geba they rest for the night . Having crossed the wady, they bivouac on the crest of the hills enclosing it on the south. Ramah … Gibeah of Saul . Ramah is, no doubt, Er-Ram , a village on an eminence, as the name implies, about six miles north of Jerusalem, and on the direct road from Beitin. Gibeah of Saul is thought to have occupied the site of the modern Tuleil-el-Ful , two miles nearer Jerusalem. It is certainly a distinct place from Geba. The inhabitants evacuate these two places during the night.
