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.
