Sun. The Amorites held Mount Heres with Aijalon and Shaalbim until the house of Joseph subdued them, and Gideon came back from chasing the Midianite kings by the ascent of Heres. Whether that is one place or two is not certain.

Who this is

Heres, meaning sun, names a hill-country location associated with the Amorites, who held Mount Heres along with Aijalon and Shaalbim until the house of Joseph subdued them (Judg. 1:35). The same name recurs as the ascent of Heres, a route Gideon took while returning from his pursuit of the Midianite kings (Judg. 8:13); whether the two references describe the same feature or two different places sharing the name is not certain from the text.
