Where it appears

1 Chronicles · 2

  1. 1 Chronicles 2:24 אַשְׁח֖וּר Ashhur

    After Hezron died in Caleb-ephrathah, his wife Abijah bore to him Ashhur the father of Tekoa.

  2. 1 Chronicles 4:5 וּלְאַשְׁחוּר֙ and to Ashhur

    Ashhur the father of Tekoa had two wives, Helah and Naarah.

    Here: A personal name with the prefixes "and" + "to/belonging to." Putting the name first makes Ashhur the topic: "As for Ashhur…" He has already been named in 1 Chr 2:24 as "Ashhur the father of Tekoa." His name is spelled with an ḥ sound (ח), so it is not the same word as Asshur/Assyria (אַשּׁוּר).
