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.

He'res. (the sun). Jdg_1:35. A city of Dan, in Mount Ephraim, near Ajalon; possibly, identical with Mount Jearim, (Ir-shemesh, city of the sun).

hē?rēz, hē?res:
(1) הר־חרס, har-ḥereṣ, ?Mount Heres? (Jdg_1:34 f), a district from which the Amorites were not expelled; it is mentioned along with Aijalon and Shallbim. In Jos_19:41 f we have then two towns in association with Ir-shemesh and many authorities consider that as ḥereṣ = shemesh, i.e. the sun, and har, being perhaps a copyist's error for עיר, ‛ı̄r, ?city,? we have in Jdg_1:34 a reference to Beth-shemesh, the modern ‛Ain Shems. Conder thinks that Batn Harâsheh, Northeast of Aijalon, a prominent hill, may be the place referred to. Budde thinks Har-heres may be identified with the Bit-Ninib (Ninib being the fierce morning sun) of the Tell el-Amarna Letters; this place was in the district of Jerusalem.
(2) מעלה החרס, ma‛ălēh he-ḥāreṣ, ?the ascent of Heres? (Jdg_8:13, the King James Version ?before the sun was up?), the place from which Gideon returned to Succoth after his defeat of Zebah and Zalmunna. the Revised Version (British and American) is probably a great improvement on the King James Version, but both the text and the topography are uncertain.
(3) עיר החרס, ‛ı̄r ha-ḥereṣ, ?City of Heres? EVm, ?City of Destruction? (חרם, ḥerem) English Versions of the Bible, or ?City of the sun? (חרס, ḥereṣ) English Versions, margin. This is the name of one of the ?five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahweh of hosts? (Isa_19:18). See IR-HA-HERES.

Heres
part of the name of two places, different in the Hebrew. SEE KIR-HERES; SEE TIMNATH-HERES.
1. HAR-CHARES ( הִראּחֶרֶסmountain of the sun; Sept. τρος τὸ ὀσρακώδης,Vulg. mons Hares, quod interpretatur testateceues, i.e. of tiles; Auth. Vers. “mount Heres”), a city (in the valley, according to the text, but in a part of Mt. Ephraim, according to the name) of Dan, near Aijalon, of which the Amorites retained possession (Jdg_1:35). It was probably situated on some eminence bordering the present Merj Ibn- Omeir on the east, possibly near the site of Emmaus or Nicopolis. We may even hazard the conjecture that it was identical with Mt. Jearim (q.d. Ir- Shemesh, i.e. sun-city), i.e. Chesalon (q.v.).
2. IR HA-HIERE (עַיר הִהֶרֶס, city of destruction; Sept. πόλις ἀσεδεκ v.r. αχερἐς; Vulg. civitas solis, evidently reading עַיר הִחֶרֶס, city of the sun), a name that occurs only in the disputed passage Isa_19:18, where most MSS. and editions, as also the versions of Aquila, Theodotion, the Syriac, and the English, read, one (of these five cities) shall be called The city of destruction, i.e. in the idiom of Isaiah, one of these cities shall be destroyed, a signification (from הָרִס, to tear down) for which Iken (Dissert. phil. crit. 16) contends. The Jews of Palestine, who approved this reading, referred it to Leontopolis and its temple, which they abhorred, and the destruction of which they supposed to be here predicted. But instead of הֶרֶס her, heres, the more probable reading is חֶרֶס, cheres, which is read in sixteen MSS. and some editions, and is expressed by the Sept. (Complut.), Symmachus, Vulgate, Saadias, and the margin of the English version, and has also the testimony of the Talmudists (Menachoth, fol. 11.0, A.). If we follow the certain and ascertained usus loquendi, this latter denotes city of the sun, i.e. Helieopolis in Egypt, elsewhere called Beth- Shemnesh, and On The Arabic meaning of the term is to defend, to preserve, and the passage may be rendered, one shall be called A city preserved, i.e. one of those five cities shall be preserved. (See Gesenius, Comment. ad loc.) Whichever interpretation may be chosen, this reading is to be preferred to the other. SEE IR-HA-IEETRES.
