Thicket, a wood in the mountains of Judah where David hid when pursued by Saul ([1 Sam. 22:5](/1sam#1Sam.22.5)). It was possibly while he was here that the memorable incident narrated in [2 Sam. 23:14-17](/2sam#2Sam.23.14), [1 Chr. 11:16-19](/1chr#1Chr.11.16) occurred. This place has not been identified, but perhaps it may be the modern Kharas, on the borders of the chain of mountains some 3 miles east of Keilah.
