Seneh

Seneh was one of two rocky crags between which Jonathan and his armor-bearer passed to attack the Philistine garrison at Michmash (1Sam 14:4).

Seneh is mentioned only once in the Bible, in the context of Jonathan's daring attack on the Philistine garrison at Michmash (1Sam. 14:4). Seneh was one of two rocky crags, the other being Bozez, between which Jonathan and his armor-bearer had to pass to reach the Philistine outpost. The name "Seneh" means "thorny" or "pointed" in Hebrew, suggesting that the crag was sharp and difficult to traverse. The passage describes the challenging terrain, with cliffs on both sides of the pass, emphasizing the bravery and faith of Jonathan and his companion as they ventured into enemy territory. Their successful attack on the Philistines, despite the odds, demonstrated their trust in God and inspired the Israelites to pursue and defeat the Philistine army.

The acacia; rock-thorn, the southern cliff in the Wady es-Suweinit, a valley south of Michmash, which Jonathan climbed with his armour-bearer (1 Sam. 14:4, 5). The rock opposite, on the other side of the wady, was called Bozez.
