Mount Mizar
Hebrew: מִצְעָר
Meaning: smallness
also known as: Mitsar
a mountain on the eastern ridge of Lebanon, near which King David lay after escaping from Absalom (Psalm 42:6)
It may, perhaps, be the present Jebel Ajlun, thus named, “the little”, in contrast with the greater elevation of Lebanon and Hermon.
