Heres
Place Name
Name meaning: "the son; an earthen pot"
Heres (meaning the sun or an earthen pot) appears in a few biblical contexts. (1.) Har-heres, the "Mount of the Sun," was a site in the territory of Dan that the Danites failed to take from the Amorites (Judg. 1:35). It is perhaps the same as Beth-shemesh. (2.) Timnath-heres (Judg. 2:9) or Timnath-serah (Josh. 19:50; 24:30) was the city given to Joshua as his inheritance in the hill country of Ephraim, where he was buried. (3.) The "ascent of Heres" is mentioned in Judges 8:13 in the account of Gideon's pursuit of the Midianite kings.
