<p> <strong> [[Ashurites]] </strong> . One of the tribes over whom [[Ishbosheth]] ruled (&nbsp; 2 Samuel 2:9 ). The name is clearly corrupt, for neither the [[Assyrians]] ( <em> [[Asshur]] </em> ) nor the [[Arabian]] tribe <em> [[Asshurim]] </em> (&nbsp; [[Genesis]] 25:3 ) can be intended. The Pesh. and Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] read ‘the Geshurites,’ whose territory bordered on that of [[Gilead]] (&nbsp; Joshua 12:5; &nbsp; Joshua 13:11 ), and who might therefore be suitably included here. It has been urged, however, against this view, that [[Geshur]] was an independent kingdom at this time (cf. &nbsp; 2 Samuel 3:3; &nbsp; 2 Samuel 13:37 ), so that Ishbosheth could not have exercised control over it. We should probably read <em> hâ-Ashçri </em> ‘the Asherites,’ <em> i.e. </em> the tribe of [[Asher]] (cf. &nbsp; Judges 1:32 ). </p>

Ashurites [1]

ash´ur - ı̄ts ( האשׁוּרי , hā - 'ăshūrı̄ ): According to the Massoretic Text of  2 Samuel 2:9 , a tribe included in the short-lived kingdom of Ish-bosheth, Saul's son. A slight textual correction gives "Asherites," that is, the tribe of Asher; with this the Targum of Jonathan agrees. The tribe of Asher lay where it would naturally fall to Ish-bosheth's kingdom. The reading "Geshurites" (Vulgate and Syriac) is excluded by the known independence Of Geshur at this time ( 2 Samuel 3:3;  2 Samuel 13:37 ). For similar reasons we cannot think of Assyria (Hebrew Asshur ) nor of the Arabic Asshurim of  Genesis 25:3 .
