1 Samuel 14:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Samuel 14:2

And Saul tarried in the uttermost part of Gibeah
Not daring to go out against the Philistines, but remained in the furthest part of Gibeah, at the greatest distance from the camp of the Philistines, in the strongest part of the city, or deeply entrenched in the outer, part of it in the field:

under a pomegranate tree;
where were his headquarters; his tent or pavilion was erected under a large spreading pomegranate, which protected him from the heat of the sun: or

under Rimmon;
the rock Rimmon; under the shelter of that, and in the caverns of it; where a like number of Benjaminites he now had with him formerly hid themselves, ( Judges 20:47 )

which is in Migron;
a part of Gibeah, or rather of the field of Gibeah, so called; for near it it certainly was; and is also mentioned along with Michmash, and as lying in the way of the march of Sennacherib king of Assyria, to Jerusalem, ( Isaiah 10:28 )

and the people that were with him were about six hundred men;
which is observed to show that no addition was made to his little army; it was the same it was when he came thither, the people did not flock to his assistance, being in fear of the army of the Philistines, which was so powerful; see ( 1 Samuel 13:15 ) .

1 Samuel 14:2 In-Context

1 Cierto día, Jonatán hijo de Saúl, sin decirle nada a su padre, le ordenó a su escudero: «Ven acá. Vamos a cruzar al otro lado, donde está el destacamento de los filisteos».

2 Y es que Saúl estaba en las afueras de Guibeá, bajo un granado en Migrón, y tenía con él unos seiscientos hombres.

3 El efod lo llevaba Abías hijo de Ajitob, que era hermano de Icabod, el hijo de Finés y nieto de Elí, sacerdote del SEÑOR en Siló.Nadie sabía que Jonatán había salido,

4 y para llegar a la guarnición filistea Jonatán tenía que cruzar un paso entre dos peñascos, llamados Bosés y Sene.

5 El primero estaba al norte, frente a Micmás; el otro, al sur, frente a Gueba.
