Shochoh - a fence; hedge - a city in the plain or lowland of the Tribe of Judah, where the Philistines encamped when they invaded Judah after their defeat at Michmash.

It lay on the northern side of the Valley of Elah (Wady es-Sunt). It has been identified with the modern Khurbet Shuweikeh, about 14 miles south-west of Jerusalem. In this campaign Goliath was slain, and the Philistines were completely routed.
