Ashurites [nave]

ASHURITES
(possibly Geshurites), 2 Sam. 2:9; Ezek. 27:6.

Asshurim [nave]

ASSHURIM, descendants of Dedan, Gen. 25:3.

Ashurites [ebd]

mentioned among those over whom Ish-bosheth was made king (2 Sam. 2:9).

ASHURITES [isbe]

ASHURITES - ash'-ur-its (ha-'ashuri): According to the Massoretic Text of 2 Sam 2:9, a tribe included in the short-lived kingdom of Ish-bosheth, Saul's son. A slight textual correction gives "Asherites," that is, the tribe of Asher; with this the Targum of Jonathan agrees. The tribe of Asher lay where it would naturally fall to Ish-bosheth's kingdom. The reading "Geshurites" (Vulgate and Syriac) is excluded by the known independence Of Geshur at this time (2 Sam 3:3; 13:37). For similar reasons we cannot think of Assyria (Hebrew Asshur) nor of the Arabic Asshurim of Gen 25:3.

ASSHURIM [isbe]

ASSHURIM - a-shoo'-rim ('ashshurim): Mentioned among the sons of Dedan, son of Jokshah, son of Abraham by Keturah (Gen 25:3).
