Michmash was a town in Benjamin north of Jerusalem where the Philistines mustered against Saul's army; it was the site of Jonathan's daring raid with his armor-bearer against a Philistine garrison across a rocky ravine, which triggered a rout that Saul's forces exploited. Isaiah pictures an invading Assyrian army storing its baggage at Michmash on its march toward Jerusalem, and families from the town were among those who returned from Babylonian exile.
