ASHAN (Jos_15:42; Jos_19:7, 1Ch_4:32; 1Ch_6:69).—Perhaps the same as Cor-Ashan (wh. see). It was a town of Judah, near Libnah and Rimmon, belonging to Simeon, and not far from Debir. The site is doubtful.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


(Jos_15:42): a city of the low country of Judah. In 1Ch_4:32 mentioned as of Simeon. In 1Ch_6:59 a priests' city; holding the same place as the similar Ain in Joshua's list (Jos_21:16). In 1Sa_30:30 Chor-ashan is in "the south." Probably it is the same as Ain, of which traces exist at El Ghuweir.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


A'shan. (smoke). A city in the low country of Judah. Jos_15:42. In Jos_19:7 and 1Ch_4:32, it is mentioned again as belonging to Simeon. It has not yet been identified.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


ā?shan (עשׁן, ‛āshān): An unknown site in the domain of Judah (Jos_15:42), possessed by Simeon (Jos_19:7), and mentioned among the priests' cities in 1Ch_6:59. (44) = Jos_21:16 (עין, ‛ayin is a corruption of עשׁן, ‛āshān). Chorashan (or Borashan), which was probably the site of some reservoir in the Southwest part of Judah (1Sa_30:30), is the same as Ashan.

Ashan
(Heb. Ashan', עָשָׁן, smoke; Sept. Α᾿σάν; in 1Ch_4:32, Α᾿ισάν v. r. Α᾿ισάρ; in Jos_15:42, omits), a Levitical city in the low country of Judah named in Jos_15:42 with Libnah and Ether. In Jos_19:7, and 1Ch_4:32, it is mentioned again as belonging to Simeon, but in company with Ain and Rimmon, which (see Jos_15:31) appear to have been much more to the south. In 1Ch_6:59, it is given as a priests' city, occupying (perhaps 1)- error of transcription) the same place as the somewhat similar word Ain (עין) does in the list of Joshua 21 :I 16. In 1Sa_30:30, the fuller form Chor- ashan is named with Hormah and other cities of "the South." Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v.) mention a village named Bethasan as 15 or 16 miles west of Jerusalem; but this, though agreeing sufficiently with the position of the place in Jos_15:42, is not far enough south for the indications of the other passages; and indeed this is a doubtful intimation (Cellar. Notit. ii, 496). SEE ASHNAH. It appears to have been situated in the southern part of the hilly region adjoining the plain (Keil, Comment. on Jos_15:42); perhaps not far from the present Deir Samil. SEE AIN. The above conflicting notices of its position would almost seem to require two cities of the name of Ashan, one in Judah (? =Eshean), and the other in Simeon (distinctively Chorashan); but, on the whole, they may best be reconciled by supposing one locality, properly in the plain of Judah, but assigned (with Ether, q.v.) to Simeon. SEE TRIBE.
