Mig´ron, a town which, from the historical indications, must have been south or south-west of Ai, and north of Michmas (). From Michmas northward a narrow valley extends out of and at right angles with that which has been identified as the pass of Michmas [MICHMAS]. The town of Migron seems to have been upon and to have commanded the pass through this valley, but its precise situation has not been determined. Saul was stationed at the further side of Gibeah, 'under a pomegranate-tree which is by Migron' (), when Jonathan performed his great exploit at Michmas; and this is to be explained on the supposition that Migron was on the border, towards Michmas, of the district to which Gibeah gave its name.
