Getting more than expected with siblings().length

I have the following html

<div id="myDiv">
<table>
    <tbody>
        <tr></tr>
        <tr></tr>
        <tr></tr>
        <tr></tr>
        <tr></tr>
        <tr></tr>
        <tr></tr>
        <tr></tr>
    </tbody>
</table>
</div>

When I execute this jquery code

var count = $('#myDiv table tbody tr').siblings().length;

I am expecting to get 8 as the value of count, instead I am getting 45. There is more html on the page than the area I have shown, and each of the above elements hold various amounts of data. What am I missing?
