Ashur
Ashur
(Heb. Ashchur’, , perh. black, otherwise man of nobility; Sept. v. r. , and v. r. ), a posthumous son of Hezron (grandson of Judah), by one of his wives (the daughter of Machir), Abiah (1Ch 2:24). He had several sons by each of his two wives (1Ch 4:5), and through these he is called (in both passages) the ” father” (founder) of Tekoa, which appears to have been the place of their eventual settlement. B.C. cit. 1658. Schwarz suggests (Palest. p. 119) that the name may be connected with the Beth-Zacharias (q.v.) of Josephus (War, i, 1, 5); but this lies at some distance from Tekoa. SEE ASSHUR.
Ashur
is the tenth day or tenth night of Moharram, which is the first month of the Arabic year. The word also signifies ten days or: ten nights. In ch. 89 of the Koran, God is introduced swearing by the ten nights.’ The Mohammedans generally fast on this day for three reasons:
(1) because the ancient Arabians observed it as a fast-day before the time of Mohammed; (2) because on this day Noah left the ark; and (3) because on this day God pardoned the Ninevites.

Ashur
the son of Shem, who gave his name to Assyria. It is believed that Ashur originally dwelt in the land of Shiner and about Babylonia, but that he was compelled by the usurper Nimrod to depart from thence, and settle higher toward the springs of the Tigris, in the province of Assyria, so called from him, where some think he built the famous city of Nineveh, and those of Rehoboth, Calah, and Resen, Gen 10:11-12.
