Places › Hereth
Hereth is a forest in the Bible, about 25 km (16 miles) south-west of Jerusalem. The King James Version names it in 1 verse, 1 Samuel 22:5.
Thicket, a wood in the mountains of Judah where David hid when pursued by Saul (1 Sam. 22:5). It was possibly while he was here that the memorable incident narrated in 2 Sam. 23:14-17, 1 Chr. 11:16-19 occurred. This place has not been identified, but perhaps it may be the modern Kharas, on the borders of the chain of mountains some 3 miles east of Keilah.
