| <p> ( '''''Ἀχιώρ''''' , for Heb. ''Achier', '''''אֲחַיאוֹר''''' '' , [[Brother]] [i.e. ''Full] Of Light;'' comp. Numbers 34:27, where the Sept. has '''''Ἀχιώρ''''' for ''Ahihud,'' apparently reading '''''אִחיהוֹר''''' ), the name given in the [[Apocrypha]] as that of the sheik of the Ammonites, who joined [[Holofernes]] with auxiliary troops during his expedition into Egypt, and who, when called upon to account for the opposition made by the inhabitants of [[Bethulia]] to that general, did so in a speech recounting the history of the country, and the national abhorrence of foreign idolatry ( Judith 5:1-24). According to the narrative, this so incensed the haughty general and his associates that they demanded the life of Achior by exposure to his enemies, who thereupon befriended and preserved him (chap. 6) till he was eventually released on the death of Holofernes, and then embraced Judaism (chap. 14). (See [[Judith]]). </p>
