A town of Benjamin, nine miles north by east of Jerusalem, Nehemiah 7:31; 11:31 . It was a strong position and lay on the north side of a deep valley; for which reasons perhaps Sennacherib, on his way to Jerusalem, left his heavy equipage there, Isaiah 10:28,29 . In this deep valley, a little west of the town, are two steep hills or rocks, supposed to be the ones referred to in the account of Jonathan's achievement at "the passage of Michmash," 1 Samuel 13:23; 14:4 . Dr. Robinson found here a village called Mukhmas, which appeared to be the remnant of a town of some size and importance.
