Subjects in this Topic:
HERES.—1. A mountain from which the Danites failed to expel the Amorites (Jdg_1:34 f.). It is probably connected with Beth-shemesh (1Ki_4:9, 2Ch_28:18) or Ir-shemesh (Jos_19:41), on the boundary between Judah and Dan_2:1-49. In Jdg_8:13 (RV [Note: Revised Version.] ) ‘the ascent of Heres’ is mentioned as the spot from which Gideon returned after the defeat of Zebah and Zalmunna. Both the topography and the text of the narrative are doubtful. See also Ir-ha-heres, Timnath-heres, Timnath-serah.
