| <p> <strong> [[Sur]] </strong> . <strong> 1 </strong> . [[A]] gate ( 2 Kings 11:6 ). See [[Jerusalem]] [[(Ii.]] <strong> 4 </strong> ). <strong> 2 </strong> . [[A]] town on the seacoast of [[Palestine]] ( Jdt 2:28 ). The site, if a different place from Tyre, is unknown. </p>

| | <p> ( '''''Σούρ''''' ; Vulg. omits), one of the places on the sea-coast of Palestine, which are named as having been disturbed at the approach of [[Holofernes]] with the [[Assyrian]] army (Judith 2, 28). It cannot be Tyre, the modern ''Sur,'' since that is mentioned immediately before. Some have suggested ''Dor,'' others a place named ''Sora,'' mentioned by Stephanus of [[Byzantium]] as ins Phoenicia, Which they would identify with Athlt; others, again, Surafend. But none of these are satisfactory. The apocryphal character of the book itself makes us suspicious of the accuracy of the name. (See [[Judith]]). </p> |

| <p> ''''' sûr ''''' (Codex Vaticanus Ἀσσούρ , <i> ''''' Assoúr ''''' </i> , Codex Alexandrinus Σούρ , <i> ''''' Soúr ''''' </i> ): Those that dwelt in Sur are mentioned along with the inhabitants of Sidon, Tyre, Ocina, etc., as dreading the approach of [[Holofernes]] and the [[Assyrian]] any ( [[Judith]] 2:28 ). The names run from North to South, and Sur immediately follows [[Tyre]] (modern <i> ''''' Sūr ''''' </i> ), with which, therefore, it can hardly be identified. No probable identification has been suggested. See also [[Jerusalem]] . </p>

| <p> (Heb. Suir, סוּר, ''reinoved,'' as in Isaiah 49:21; Sept. αἱ ὁδοί; Vulg. Sur), the name of one of the gates of the [[Temple]] at Jerusalem ( 2 Kings 23:6); called in the parallel passage ( 2 Chronicles 23:5) "the gate of the ''foundation,'' " יְסוֹד (which is the preferable reading), being apparently that which led across to [[Zion]] by the causeway or bridge. (See [[Temple]]). </p>
