Cliffs stood on both sides of the pass that Jonathan planned to cross to reach the Philistine garrison, one called Bozez and the other Seneh.
It lives among the cliffs, and roosts on a remote rocky crag.
A Philistine garrison had taken control of the pass at Michmash.
The cliff to the north was on the Michmash side, the one to the south on the Geba side.
