Usage: Mikmas is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a town in the territory of Benjamin. Context: Mikmas, also spelled Mikmash, is a town located in the tribal territory of Benjamin, north of Jerusalem. It is mentioned in several biblical accounts, most notably in the context of the battles between the Israelites and the Philistines. In 1 Samuel 13:2, Saul stationed his troops at Mikmas, and it was near this location that Jonathan, Saul's son, achieved a significant victory over the Philistines (1 Samuel 14:5-14). The town is also referenced in the post-exilic period, as some of the returning exiles settled there (Nehemiah 11:31). Mikmas is strategically situated on a ridge, making it a significant military site in ancient times. The town's location and its role in biblical narratives highlight its importance in Israel's history.
