Sur
Sur
(Heb. Suir, , reinoved, as in Isa 49:21; Sept. ; Vulg. Sur), the name of one of the gates of the Temple at Jerusalem (2Ki 23:6); called in the parallel passage (2Ch 23:5) the gate of the foundation, (which is the preferable reading), being apparently that which led across to Zion by the causeway or bridge. SEE TEMPLE.

Sur (2)
(; Vulg. omits), one of the places on the sea-coast of Palestine, which are named as having been disturbed at the approach of Holofernes with the Assyrian army (Judith 2, 28). It cannot be Tyre, the modern Sur, since that is mentioned immediately before. Some have suggested Dor, others a place named Sora, mentioned by Stephanus of Byzantium as ins Phoenicia, Which they would identify with Athlt; others, again, Surafend. But none of these are satisfactory. The apocryphal character of the book itself makes us suspicious of the accuracy of the name. SEE JUDITH.

Sur
sur (Codex Vaticanus , Assour, Codex Alexandrinus , Sour): Those that dwelt in Sur are mentioned along with the inhabitants of Sidon, Tyre, Ocina, etc., as dreading the approach of Holofernes and the Assyrian any (Judith 2:28). The names run from North to South, and Sur immediately follows Tyre (modern Sur), with which, therefore, it can hardly be identified. No probable identification has been suggested. See also JERUSALEM.
