Hareth
Hareth
(Heb. Che’reth, , the form , Cha’reth, is on account of the pause-accent; prob. i.q. a thicket: Sept. v.r. [] [apparently reading ; so Josephus, Ant. 6:12, 4],Vulg. Haret), a wood () in the mountains of Judah, where David hid himself from Saul, at the instance of the prophet Gad (1Sa 31:5); probably situated among the hills west of Socho. SEE FOREST.

Hareth (2)
Lieut. Conder argues at length (Quar. Statement of the “Pal. Explor. Fund,” January 1875, page 42 sq.) against the existence of any forest in this vicinity, and therefore prefers the reading (city) to (wood); but his reasoning is based upon a misconception (corrected in his Tent Work, 2:88) of the latter word, which usually does not imply timber, but simply a copse or low brushwood. He finds the locality in question in the “small modern village of Kharas, in the hills on the north side of Wady Arneba, one of the heads of the valle of Elah (Wady es-Sunt); an ancient site, with: the usual indications-wells, cisterns, and rough caves in the hill- sides.” It is laid down on the Ordnance Map seven and a half miles east of Beit-Jibrin, and two miles east of Khurbet Kila (Keilah). This identification is concurred in by Tristram (Bible Places, pge 43) and Trelawney Saunders (Mcap of the O.T.).

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.
