Ašerovci
Опис
Ašurejci — pomenuti među onima nad kojima je Išbošet postao kralj [2Sam 2:9 ]. Njihova teritorija se procenjuje između Gileada i Jezreela.
[hebr. Aššur], je najstarija prestonica asirska na desnoj obali Tigrisa [Post 2:14 ]. Prema ovom gradu nazvana je istoimena država i njeni stanovnici, prema [Post 10:22 ] potomci Semovi [Jez 27:23 ]. Stariji asirski vladari su stolovali u Ašuru sve do Salmanasara I. [oko 1280. p.n.e.], koji je prestonicom učinio Ninivu. Nije bio veliki, ali je bio dobro utvrđen i prirodnim položajem zaštićen. U severnom delu grada stajali su dvorci kraljeva i hramovi bogova, među kojima je najznačajniji bio Ašur [Aššur]. Bio je običaj sahranjivati mrtve kod kuće. Danas su od ovog grada ostale samo 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).
