1 Samuel 14:5

1 Samuel 14:5 -

Was situate, etc. The word thus translated is that rendered pillar in 1 Samuel 2:8 , and the verse should possibly be translated, "And the one tooth (or crag) was a rocky mass on the north over against Michmash, and the other was on the south over against Geba" (not Gibeah, as the A.V.; see 1 Samuel 13:16 ). But the word is omitted in the versions, and may be an interpolation.
