35. Senaah] The name of this place occurs elsewhere only in the lists of Nehemiah (Neh_3:3, Neh_7:38). It was identified by Eusebius and Jerome with ‘Megdalsenna’ or ‘Magdalsenna’ about 5 miles N. of Jericho.
three thousand and six hundred and thirty] Neh. gives a larger number by 300. The numbers here mentioned are surprisingly great considering that the town is quite unknown to us.

The difficulty has been met by a variety of explanations. (a) It has been said that we need not attach much importance to the figures, which may easily have suffered from corruptions in the text. (b) It is suggested that the numbers comprise the population of a considerable adjoining district. (c) It was even conjectured by one commentator (Michaelis) that Senaah was a title (= “the hated one”) given to Jerusalem with reference to its idolatry before the Captivity. (d) Perhaps the number here given includes the population of other places, e.g. Hebron, whose names have been accidentally omitted.
