CHOR-ASHAN
smoking furnace, one of the places where "David himself and his men were wont to haunt" (1 Sam. 30:30, 31).
It is probably identical with Ashan (Josh. 15:42; 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."
A town in Judah 1Sa 30:30 Perhaps identical with ASHAN Jos 15:42
CHORAZIN
named along with Bethsaida and Capernaum as one of the cities in which our Lord's "mighty works" were done, and which was doomed to woe because of signal privileges neglected (Matt. 11:21; Luke 10:13).
It has been identified by general consent with the modern Kerazeh, about 2 1/2 miles up the Wady Kerazeh from Capernaum; i.e., Tell Hum.
