Context: The term אֲשׁוּרִי (Ashuri) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun denoting individuals or groups associated with Ashur. In the context of the biblical narrative, Ashur is often linked to the Assyrian empire, a significant power in the ancient Near East known for its military prowess and influence over Israel and Judah during various periods. The Assyrians are frequently mentioned in the prophetic books as instruments of divine judgment against Israel due to their idolatry and disobedience. The term "Ashurite" may also refer to a specific clan or family group within the broader Assyrian context, as seen in genealogical or tribal listings. In 2 Samuel 2:9, the term is used to describe a group loyal to Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, during the power struggle following Saul's death: "He made him king over Gilead, Ashuri, Jezreel, Ephraim, Benjamin, and all Israel" (BSB). This usage highlights the political and territorial divisions present in the narrative and the role of the Ashurites within that framework.
