Commentary on 1 Samuel 14:4

Theological / Devotional

Between the passages. Josephus says, “Now the enemy’s camp was upon a precipice which had three tops, that ended in a small but sharp and long extremity, while there was a rock that surrounded them, like lines made to prevent the attacks of an enemy” (Antiquities vi. 6. 2). Those who have visited the site, on the north side of the precipitous wadi, say the residents still speak of it as “the fort.” This crag was named Bozez, which may mean “white” or “shining,” but more probably “soft” or “tender.” On the southern face of the wadi is another crag of about equal height called “Seneh,” or “thombush,” far easier to scale than that on the northern side. The topographical information in this passage of Scripture is said to have been utilized by Allenby in taking Michmash from the Turks in 1917.
