noun
a variant spelling of -ssur
second son of shem (gen. 10:22; 1 chr. 1:17). he went from the land of shinar and built nineveh, etc. (gen. 10:11,12). he probably gave his name to -ssyria, which is the usual translation of the word, although the form -sshur is sometimes retained (num. 24:22, 24; ezek. 27:23, etc.). in gen. 2:14 “-ssyria” ought to be “-sshur,” which was the original capital of -ssyria, a city represented by the mounds of kalah sherghat, on the west bank of the tigris. this city was founded by bel-kap-kapu about b.c. 1700. at a later date the capital was shifted to ninua, or nineveh, now koyunjik, on the eastern bank of the river. (see calah øt0000688; nineveh.)
