SCRIPTURE

"And between the passes, by which Jonathan sought to go over unto the Philistines` garrison, there was a rocky crag on the one side, and a rocky crag on the other side: and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh." — 1 Samuel 14:4 (ASV)

Bozez ... Seneh. —These names are of extreme antiquity. Their meaning is disputed. Possibly Bozez signifies “shining,” and Seneh “the acacia.” These rocks have been identified by modern travellers.
