<p> (&nbsp;Joshua 15:42): a city of the low country of Judah. In &nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:32 mentioned as of [[Simeon.]] In &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:59 a priests' city; holding the same place as the similar [[Ain]] in Joshua's list (&nbsp;Joshua 21:16). In &nbsp;1 Samuel 30:30 Chor-ashan is in "the south." Probably it is the same as Ain, of which traces exist at [[El]] Ghuweir. </p>

<p> <strong> [[Ashan]] </strong> (&nbsp; Joshua 15:42; Jos 19:7 , &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 4:32; &nbsp; 1 Chronicles 6:69 ). Perhaps the same as <strong> [[Cor-Ashan]] </strong> (wh. see). It was a town of Judah, near [[Libnah]] and Rimmon, belonging to Simeon, and not far from Debir. The site is doubtful. </p>

<p> (Heb. Ashan', עָשָׁן '', smoke;'' Sept. Ἀσάν; in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:32, Ἀισάν v. r. Ἀισάρ; in &nbsp;Joshua 15:42, omits), a Levitical city in the low country of Judah named in &nbsp;Joshua 15:42 with Libnah and Ether. In &nbsp;Joshua 19:7, and &nbsp;1 Chronicles 4:32, it is mentioned again as belonging to Simeon, but in company with Ain and Rimmon, which (see &nbsp;Joshua 15:31) appear to have been much more to the south. In &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:59, it is given as a priests' city, occupying (perhaps 1)- error of transcription) the same place as the somewhat similar word Ain (עין ) does in the list of Joshua 21 [[:I]] 16. In &nbsp;1 Samuel 30:30, the fuller form ''Chor- ashan'' is named with [[Hormah]] and other cities of "the South." [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] ''(Onomast.'' s.v.) mention a village named ''Bethasan'' as 15 or 16 miles west of Jerusalem; but this, though agreeing sufficiently with the position of the place in &nbsp;Joshua 15:42, is not far enough south for the indications of the other passages; and indeed this is a doubtful intimation (Cellar. ''Notit.'' ii, 496). (See [[Ashnah]]). It appears to have been situated in the southern part of the hilly region adjoining the plain (Keil, ''Comment.'' on &nbsp;Joshua 15:42); perhaps not far from the present ''Deir Samil.'' (See [[Ain]]). The above conflicting notices of its position would almost seem to require two cities of the name of Ashan, one in Judah (? =Eshean), and the other in [[Simeon]] (distinctively Chorashan); but, on the whole, they may best be reconciled by supposing one locality, properly in the plain of Judah, but assigned (with Ether, q.v.) to Simeon. (See [[Tribe]]). </p>

<p> '''''ā´shan''''' ( עשׁן , <i> '''''‛āshān''''' </i> ): An unknown site in the domain of Judah (&nbsp;Joshua 15:42 ), possessed by Simeon (&nbsp;Joshua 19:7 ), and mentioned among the priests' cities in &nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:59 . (44) = &nbsp;Joshua 21:16 ( עין , <i> '''''‛ayin''''' </i> is a corruption of עשׁן , <i> '''''‛āshān''''' </i> ). [[Chorashan]] (or Borashan), which was probably the site of some reservoir in the Southwest part of Judah (&nbsp;1 Samuel 30:30 ), is the same as Ashan. </p>
