(Heb. with the art. has-Seirah', הִשַּׂעַירָה, the shaggy; Sept.; Σεειρωθά v.r. Σετειρωθά; Vulg. Seirath ), the place to which Ehud fled after his murder of Eglon ( Judges 3:26), and whither, by blasts of his cow horn, he collected his countrymen for the attack of the Moabites in Jericho ( Judges 3:27). It was in "Mount Ephraim" ( Judges 3:27), a continuation, perhaps, of the same rough wooded hills (such seems to be the signification of Seir) which stretched even so far south as to join the territory of Judah ( Joshua 15:10). The definite article prefixed to the name in the original shows that it was a well known spot in its day. — Smith. It is probably the same as Mount Seir (q.v.) just referred to, the Saris of the present day.
