HORESH

(Heb. ḥōreš)

A place in the Wilderness of Ziph where David hid from Saul and made a covenant of friendship with Jonathan (1 Sam. 23:15-19). Most modern interpreters identify the site as Khirbet Khoreisa, ca. 9.6 km. (6 mi.) SE of Hebron. The name Horesh (“wood” or “wooded height”) could be a description of a geographical feature, but the lack of rainfall in the Negeb raises questions about the plausibility of a wooded height.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
