M.G. Easton , The Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Horites, Horites Cave-men, a race of Troglodytes who dwelt in the limestone caves which abounded in Edom. Their ancestor was "Seir," who probably gave his name to the district where he lived. They were a branch of the Hivites (Gen 14:6; Gen 36:20; Ch1 1:38, Ch1 1:39). They were dispossessed by the descendants of Esau, and as a people gradually became extinct (Deu 2:12).
Encyclopedie , Jewish Encyclopedia, Hori, Surname of Seir, who, with his descendants, the Horites, occupied the land subsequently called "Edom" (Gen. xxxvi. 20 et seq.). The name occurs in the plural only once (Deut. ii. 12), and with the definite article; its meaning indicates the nature of the dwellings of the aboriginal inhabitants of Idumaea, and is confirmed by the presence of excavated dwellings in the mountains of Edom. The Horites are first mentioned in connection with their defeat by Chedorlaomer and his allies in the time of Abraham (Gen. xiv. 6). They were finally destroyed by the Edomites, who occupied their land (Deut. ii. 12, 22; see Edom).
