Chor-ashan @ smoking furnace, one of the places where "David himself and his men were wont to haunt" ( 1Samuel:30:30-31). It is probably identical with Ashan Joshua:15:42Joshua:19:7), a Simeonite city in the Negeb, i.e., the south, belonging to Judah. The word ought, according to another reading, to be "Bor-ashan."
