Ashan; town in Judah's Shephelah, assigned to Simeon and designated as a Levitical city
A town name appearing in territorial allotments and Levitical city lists. Joshua 15:42 places Ashan in Judah's Shephelah (lowland), while 19:7 assigns it to Simeon (whose inheritance was within Judah's territory). First Chronicles 4:32 confirms it as a Simeonite settlement, and 6:59 lists it among Levitical cities. The site may be identical with 'Bor-ashan' (1 Sam 30:30), with 'Bor' (cistern/well) as a descriptive prefix. The LXX transliterates as Asan or Ashan. This represents a typical Shephelah settlement shared between tribal inheritances and Levitical assignments.
