Holy Scripture

1 Samuel 14:2

A church father on this verse
“Gibeah, as we said, is interpreted as "hill"; Migron is said to mean "from the throat." Now holy preachers are very exalted, not only in works, but also in contemplation. The outer part of this loftiness, therefore, is that of works, while the inner part is that of contemplation. Through this outer part of their exalt…”
Gregory the Dialogist, 7th c. — Commentary on 1 Kings, Book 5, Chapter 4

— 1 Samuel 14:2 —

3And Ahijah son of Ahitub, the brother of Ichabod the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, was the priest of God in Shiloh wearing an ephod: and the people knew not that Jonathan was gone.

4And in the midst of the passage whereby Jonathan sought to pass over to the encampment of the Philistines, there was both a sharp rock on this side, and a sharp rock on the other side: the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.
