Deuteronomy 1:44

1:44 The Amorite inhabitants of that area 1  confronted 2  you and chased you like a swarm of bees, striking you down from Seir as far as Hormah. 3 

1 tn Heb “in that hill country,” repeating the end of v. 43.

2 tn Heb “came out to meet.”

3 sn Hormah is probably Khirbet el-Meshash, 5.5 mi (9 km) west of Arad and 7.5 mi (12 km) SE of Beer Sheba. Its name is a derivative of the verb חָרָם (kharam, “to ban; to exterminate”). See Num 21:3.
