Places of the Bible

Bor-ashan

Where the name appears

Events told in passages that name Bor-ashan, and how many of their verses do. That is not the same as saying they happened here: a place can be named as a landmark, as somewhere being travelled to, or as the subject of a prophecy.

  • Reign of Saul · 1094 BC · 1 verse

Easton’s Bible Dictionary

Smoking furnace, one of the places where “David himself and his men were wont to haunt” (1 Sam. 30:30, 31). It is probably identical with Ashan (Josh. 15:42; 19:7), a Simeonite city in the Negeb, i.e., the south, belonging to Judah. The word ought, according to another reading, to be “Bor-ashan.”

From M. G. Easton, Illustrated Bible Dictionary (1893), in the public domain.
