  Forest
     Heb. ya'ar, meaning a dense wood, from its luxuriance. Thus all
     the great primeval forests of Syria (Eccl. 2:6; Isa. 44:14; Jer.
     5:6; Micah 5:8). The most extensive was the trans-Jordanic
     forest of Ephraim (2 Sam. 18:6, 8; Josh. 17:15, 18), which is
     probably the same as the wood of Ephratah (Ps. 132:6), some part
     of the great forest of Gilead. It was in this forest that
     Absalom was slain by Joab. David withdrew to the forest of
     Hareth in the mountains of Judah to avoid the fury of Saul (1
     Sam. 22:5). We read also of the forest of Bethel (2 Kings 2:23,
     24), and of that which the Israelites passed in their pursuit of
     the Philistines (1 Sam. 14:25), and of the forest of the cedars
     of Lebanon (1 Kings 4:33; 2 Kings 19:23; Hos. 14:5, 6).
     
       "The house of the forest of Lebanon (1 Kings 7:2; 10:17; 2
     Chr. 9:16) was probably Solomon's armoury, and was so called
     because the wood of its many pillars came from Lebanon, and they
     had the appearance of a forest. (See BAALBEC.)
     
       Heb. horesh, denoting a thicket of trees, underwood, jungle,
     bushes, or trees entangled, and therefore affording a safe
     hiding-place. place. This word is rendered "forest" only in 2
     Chr. 27:4. It is also rendered "wood", the "wood" in the
     "wilderness of Ziph," in which david concealed himself (1 Sam.
     23:15), which lay south-east of Hebron. In Isa. 17:19 this word
     is in Authorized Version rendered incorrectly "bough."
     
       Heb. pardes, meaning an enclosed garden or plantation. Asaph
     is (Neh. 2:8) called the "keeper of the king's forest." The same
     Hebrew word is used Eccl. 2:5, where it is rendered in the
     plural "orchards" (R.V., "parks"), and Cant. 4: 13, rendered
     "orchard" (R.V. marg., "a paradise").
     
       "The forest of the vintage" (Zech. 11:2, "inaccessible
     forest," or R.V. "strong forest") is probably a figurative
     allusion to Jerusalem, or the verse may simply point to the
     devastation of the region referred to.
     
       The forest is an image of unfruitfulness as contrasted with a
     cultivated field (Isa. 29:17; 32:15; Jer. 26:18; Hos. 2:12).
     Isaiah (10:19, 33, 34) likens the Assyrian host under
     Sennacherib (q.v.) to the trees of some huge forest, to be
     suddenly cut down by an unseen stroke.
