Ašer
Opis
Ašúrejci — omenjeni med tistimi, nad katerimi je bil Išbošet postavljen za kralja [2 Sam 2:9]. Njihovo ozemlje je določeno med Gileádom in Jezreelom.
[hebr. Aššur], je najstarejša prestolnica asirske države na desnem bregu Tigrisa [1Mz 2:14 ]. Po tem mestu je bila poimenovana istoimenska država in njeni prebivalci, po [1Mz 10:22 ] potomci Sema [Ezk 27:23 ]. Starejši asirski vladarji so prebivali v Ašurju vse do Salmanasarja I. [okoli 1280 pr. Kr.], ki je za glavno mesto postavil Ninive. Ni bilo veliko, a dobro utrjeno in z naravno lego zaščiteno. V severnem delu mesta so stali kraljevski palači in templji bogov, med katerimi je bil najpomembnejši Ašur [Aššur]. Tukaj je bil običaj pokopavati mrtve doma. Danes so od tega mesta ostale le ruševine. *Asirija.

Asher
happy, Jacob's eigth son; his mother was Zilpah, Leah's handmaid (Gen 30:13). Of the tribe founded by him nothing is recorded beyond its holding a place in the list of the tribes (Gen 35:26; 46:17; Ex 1:4), etc. It increased in numbers twenty-nine percent, during the thirty-eight years' wanderings. The place of this tribe during the march through the desert was between Dan and Naphtali (Num 2:27). The boundaries of the inheritance given to it, which contained some of the richest soil in Palestine, and the names of its towns, are recorded in (Josh 19:24-31; Judg 1:31; 1:32). Asher and Simeon were the only tribes west of the Jordan which furnished no hero or judge for the nation. Anna the prophetess was of this tribe (Luke 2:36).
