The Definition of the word Hareth

Hareth

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.
