FOREST - F>@ - Although Palestine has never been in historical times a woodland country, yet there can be no doubt that there was much more wood formerly than there is a t present, and that the destruction of the forests was one of the chief causes of the present desolation.

Forest @ Heb. ya'ar, meaning a dense wood, from its luxuriance. Thus all the great primeval forests of Syria kjv@Ecclesiastes:2:6; kjv@Isaiah:44:14; kjv@Jeremiah:5:6; kjv@Micah:5:8). The most extensive was the trans
- Jordanic forest of Ephraim ( kjv@2Samuel:18:6-8; kjv@Joshua:17:15 kjv@Joshua:17:18), which is probably the same as the wood of Ephratah kjv@Psalms: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 ( kjv@1Samuel:22:5). We read also of the forest of Bethel ( kjv@2Kings:2:23-24), and of that which the Israelites passed in their pursuit of the Philistines ( kjv@1Samuel:14:25), and of the forest of the cedars of Lebanon (kjvKings:4:33; kjv@2Kings:19:23; kjv@Hosea:14:5-6). "The house of the forest of Lebanon (kjvKings:7:2; 10:17; kjv@2Chronicals: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 kjv@2Chronicals:27:4. It is also rendered "wood", the "wood" in the "wilderness of Ziph," in which david concealed himself ( kjv@1Samuel:23:15), which lay south-east of Hebron. In kjv@Isaiah:17:19 this word is in Authorized Version rendered incorrectly "bough." Heb. pardes, meaning an enclosed garden or plantation. Asaph is kjv@Nehemiah:2:8) called the "keeper of the king's forest." The same Hebrew word is used kjv@Ecclesiastes: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" kjv@Zechariah: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 kjv@Isaiah:29:17 kjv@Isaiah:32:15; kjv@Jeremiah:26:18; kjv@Hosea: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.
