Sur
sur (Codex Vaticanus Assour, Codex Alexandrinus Sour): Those that dwelt in Sur are mentioned along with the inhabitants of Sidon, Tyre, Ocina, etc., as dreading the approach of Holofernes and the Assyrian any (Judith 2:28). The names run from North to South, and Sur immediately follows Tyre (modern Sur]), with which, therefore, it can hardly be identified. No probable identification has been suggested.
See also JERUSALEM.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
zur (tsur "rock"):
(1) A prince or chief (Num 25:15; Num 31:8) of Midian, father of the woman slain with Zimri by Phinehas. Josh 13:21 describes him as one of the princes of Sihon, but the reference there is regarded as a gloss.
(2) An inhabitant of Gibeon (1 Chr 8:30; 1 Chr 9:36), to be connected probably, according to Curtis, with "Zeror" of 1 Sam 9:1.
