Se'irath. (The Shaggy). The place to which Ehud fled, after his murder of Eglon.  Judges 3:26-27. It was in "Mount Ephraim,"  Judges 3:27, a continuation, perhaps, of the same wooded, shaggy hills which stretched even so far south as to enter the territory of Judah,  Joshua 15:10. (It is probably the same place as Seir, 2 ).

Fausset's Bible Dictionary [2]

Where Ehud fled after murdering Eglon, and gathered Israel to attack the Moabites at Jericho. In Mount Ephraim, a continuation of the rugged, bushy ("like hair") hills which stretched to Judah's northern boundary ( Joshua 15:10;  Judges 3:26-27).

(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.
