Mount Gilead was the hill or ridge in the Gideon narrative on the west side of the Jordan, distinct from the larger transjordanian region of Gilead. It is important because the same name can point to a local battlefield feature as well as a wider territory. First appears in Judg 7:3.1
AI summary: Mount Gilead matters here because Gideon's story uses a familiar name in a more local tactical setting. The place belongs to the geography of fear, testing, and reduced numbers before victory.1
