Where is Horesh in the Bible?

Horesh was a wilderness area located in the region of Judah, likely in the hill country south of Jerusalem. This forested or wooded region appears in the biblical account as a place where David fled to escape King Saul's pursuit during his time as a fugitive (1 Samuel 23:15-18). The name "Horesh" literally means "forest" or "woodland," and it served as a refuge where David could hide while remaining in his homeland. This location is significant in David's story because it represents both his vulnerability as a hunted man and God's protection during his period of exile before he became king of Israel.
