(hoh' rehssh) Place name meaning, “forest,” KJV interpreting the term as a common noun. As David hid there from Saul, Jonathan, Saul's son, came out to help him and made a covenant of mutual help (1 Samuel 23:15-18 ). The people of Ziph revealed David's hideout, but David still escaped. If a proper name, Horesh may be modern khirbet Khoreisa, two miles south of Ziph and six miles south of Hebron.
