Brown-Driver-Briggs בּוֺצֵץ proper name, of a location a rock by Michmash 1 Samuel 14:4; — Βωσης LagOnom. 238, 2nd ed. 250. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּצַץ (batsats), meaning "to shine" or "to be bright." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun בּוֹצֵץ (Botsets), as it is a specific geographical name unique to the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. Usage: The term "Botsets" appears in the context of a geographical location, specifically a rocky crag mentioned in the narrative of Jonathan's attack on the Philistine garrison. Context: Botsets is identified as one of the two rocky crags mentioned in 1 Samuel 14:4, where Jonathan, the son of King Saul, and his armor-bearer launched a surprise attack on the Philistine outpost. The narrative describes two crags, Botsets and Seneh, which were situated on opposite sides of the pass that Jonathan used to approach the Philistine camp. The name Botsets, meaning "shining" or "gleaming," may refer to the appearance of the rock, possibly due to its exposure to sunlight or its reflective surface. This location played a significant role in the victory over the Philistines, as Jonathan's bold maneuver led to confusion and panic among the enemy forces, contributing to Israel's triumph. The account highlights Jonathan's faith and courage, as well as the strategic importance of the terrain in ancient warfare.
