Small place north of Jerusalem

Migron

Migron is a location found within the narrative of the Book of Mormon, being referenced in a quotation from the prophet Isaiah. Specifically, it is mentioned in the context of the Assyrian invasion, when Isaiah prophesies the approach and movements of the Assyrian army. According to the quoted verse, Assyria is said to have come to Aiath, passed to Migron, and at Michmash laid up his carriages (2 Nephi 20:28). This prophetic detail locates Migron along a route taken by the Assyrians, situated between Aiath and Michmash. Migron, therefore, appears as a waypoint in the Assyrian campaign against the Israelites, contributing to the larger narrative of impending judgment and the need for covenant faithfulness among the Lord’s people. The brief mention in the Book of Mormon does not elaborate on the specific characteristics or the broader historical or geographical role of Migron beyond this military context.
