HUR.—The name is possibly of Egyptian origin. 1. With Aaron he held up Moses’ hands, in order that by the continual uplifting of the sacred staff Israel might prevail over Amalek (Exo_17:10; Exo_17:12 E [Note: Elohist.] ). With Aaron he was left in charge of the people when Moses ascended the mountain (Exo_24:14 E [Note: Elohist.] ). 2. A Judahite, the grandfather of Bezalel (Exo_31:2; Exo_35:30; Exo_38:22 Peter). According to the Chronicler, he was descended from Perez, through Hezron and Caleb (1Ch_2:19 f, 1Ch_2:50; 1Ch_4:1-4, 2Ch_1:5); and in Jos. [Note: Josephus.] Ant. III. ii. 4, vi. 1, he is the husband of Miriam, and identical with 1. 3. One of the kings of Midian slain after the sin at Peor (Num_31:8); described as ‘chiefs’ of Midian, and ‘princes’ of Sihon (Jos_13:21). 4. The father of one of the twelve officers who supplied Solomon and his court with food (1Ki_4:8 RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘Ben-hur’) 5. The father of Rephaiah, who was a ruler of half of Jerusalem, and who helped to repair the walls (Neh_3:9). LXX [Note: Septuagint.] omits the name Hur.

("hole".)
1. Exo_31:2-5; 1Ch_2:5; 1Ch_2:19-20; 1Ch_2:50-51; 1Ch_4:1; 1Ch_4:4. Josephus makes him husband of Miriam (?), Ant. 3:8, section 4. With Aaron Hur. held up Moses' hands in the battle with Amalek (Exo_17:10-12). Again with Aaron had charge of the People in Moses' absence on mount Sinai, as his representative (Exo_24:14). "The father (founder) of Bethlehem," which as late as the 13th century A.D. was famed for tapestry weaving, the art for which Bezaleel his grandson was famed. Jesse was said to have woven veils of the sanctuary.
2. Fourth of the five Midianite kings slain with Balaam after the affair of Peor (Num_31:8). These "princes" were "dukes (i.e. vassals) of Sihon king of the Amorites" (Jos_13:21). Sihon "had fought against the former king of Moab, and taken all his land" (Num_21:26). So, Balak was not hereditary king, but probably a Midianite; as Zippor, i.e. a bird, is like the Midianite names Oreb "crow," Zeeb "wolf"; imposed upon Moab as king by Sihon.
3. 1Ki_4:8, margin, Benhur.
4. Neh_3:9.

hûr (חוּר, ḥūr):
(1) A prominent official in Israel. With Aaron he held up Moses' hands during the battle against the Amalekites (Exo_17:10, Exo_17:12) and assisted him as judicial head of the people during Moses' stay in the mount (Exo_24:14).
(2) Grandfather of Bezalel, the head artificer in the construction of the Tabernacle (Exo_31:2; Exo_35:30; Exo_38:22; 2Ch_1:5). He is here assigned to the tribe of Judah, and in 1 Ch is connected with the same by descent through Caleb (1Ch_2:19, 1Ch_2:20, 1Ch_2:50; 1Ch_4:1, 1Ch_4:4). Josephus (Ant., III, ii, 4; vi, 1) makes him identical with (1) and the husband of Miriam.
(3) One of the five kings of Midian slain along with Balaam when Israel avenged the ?matter of Peor? upon this people (Num_31:8; compare Num_31:1, Num_31:2, Num_31:16). In Jos_13:21 these kings are spoken of as ?chiefs (nesı̄'ı̄m) of Midian? and ?princes (neṣı̄khı̄m) of Sihon,? king of the Amorites.
(4) According to 1Ki_4:8 the King James Version, the father of one of Solomon's twelve officers who provided food for the king's household, and whose district was the hill country of Ephraim. Here the Revised Version (British and American) has ?Ben-hur,? taking the Hebrew ben, ?son of,? as part of the proper name; and the same is true in reference to the names of four others of these officers (compare 1Ki_4:9, 1Ki_4:10, 1Ki_4:11, 1Ki_4:13).
(5) Father of Rephaiah, who was one of the builders of the wall under Nehemiah, and ruler of half the district of Jerusalem (Neh_3:9).

Hur
(Heb. Chûr, חוּר, a hole, as of a viper, Isa_11:8; also a narrow and filthy subterranean prison, Isa_42:22; comp. the “black hole” of Calcutta; otherwise noble; Sept. ῎Ωρ, Οὔρ, but Σούρ in Neh_3:9; Josephus ῎Ορος and Οὔρης), the name of five men.
1. A son of Caleb (Judah's great-grandson through elzron), the first one by his second wife Ephrath, and grandfather of Bezaleel (q.v.), the famous artificer, through Uri (1Ch_2:19; 1Ch_2:50; 1Ch_4:1; 1Ch_4:4; comp. 2:20; 2Ch_1:5; Exo_31:2; Exo_35:30; Exo_38:22). B.C. between 1856 and 1658. By some (after Josephus, Ant. 3:6,1) he has been confounded with the following.
2. The husband of Miriam, the sister of Moses, according to Josephus (Ant. 3:2, 4). During the conflict with the Amalekites he assisted Aaron in sustaining the arms of Moses in that praying attitude upon which the success of the Israelites was found to depend (Exo_17:10-12); and when Moses was absent on Sinai to receive the law, he associated Hur with Aaron in charge of the people (Exo_24:14). B.C. 1658.
3. The fourth named of the five princes or petty kings of Midian (מִלְכֵי מַדנְיָן), who were defeated and slain shortly before the death of Moses by the Israelites, under the leadership of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar (Num_31:8; Josephus, Ant. 4:7, 1). B.C. 1618. In Jos_13:21 these five Midianites are termed סַיהוֹן נְסַיכֵי, the vassals of Sihon, and are also described as ישְׁבֵי הָאָרֶוֹ, dwellers in the land, which Keil (ad loc.) explains as meaning that they had for a long time dwelt in the land of Canaan with the Moabites, whereas the Amorites had only recently effected an entrance. After the defeat of Sihon these chieftains appear to have made common cause with Balak, the king of Moab (Num_22:4; Num_22:7), and to have joined with him in urging Balaam to curse the Israelites. The evil counsel of Balaam having been followed, and the. Israelites in consequence seduced into transgression (Num_31:16), Moses was directed to make war upon the Midianites. The latter were utterly defeated, and “Balaam also, the son of Beor, they slew with the sword.” SEE SIHON.
4. A person whose son (Ben-Hur) was Solomon's purveyor in Mount Ephraim (1Ki_4:8). Josephus calls him Ures (Οὔρης), and makes him to have been himself military governor of the Ephraimites (Ant. 8:2, 3). B.C. ante 995.
5. Father of Rephaiah, which latter is called “ruler of the half part of Jerusalem” after the exile, and repaired part of the walls of Jerusalem (Neh_3:9). B.C. ante 446.
