Where is Seneh in the Bible?
Seneh was a rocky crag located in the Benjamin region of ancient Israel, part of a narrow gorge between Michmash and Geba. It appears in 1 Samuel 14:4 as one of two distinctive rock formations (the other being Bozez) that Jonathan and his armor-bearer used as a passage to launch a surprise attack on a Philistine garrison. The name likely derives from the thorn bushes that grew on the cliff, possibly preserved in the modern Arabic name Wady Suweinit, meaning "valley of the little thorn tree." This location demonstrates how Israel's military forces used geographical knowledge of the terrain to gain tactical advantages against the Philistines during the early monarchy period.

We may hear an echo of the old name in that of Wady Suweinit, "valley of the little thorn tree," the name by which the gorge is known today. The cliff must have stood on the right side of the wady; see BOZEZ. Conder gives an excellent description of the place in Tent Work in Palestine, II, 112-14.
