sun. (1.) "Mount Heres" (Jg 1:35), Heb Har-heres, i.e., "sun-mountain;" probably identical with Irshemesh in Jos 19:41.

(2.) Isa 19:18, marg. (See On.)

1. A mountain from which the Danites failed to expel the Amorites (Jg 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 Da 2. In Jg 8:13 (RV) '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.
