ASHAN
Town in the southwestern Judean foothills slightly northwest of Beersheba. Ashan first belonged to Judah’s tribe (Jos 15:42), then to Simeon’s (Jos 19:7), and finally to the Levites as a city of refuge (1 Chr 6:59). David roamed there with his outlaw band (1 Sm 30:30). The city of Ain mentioned in Joshua 21:16 probably refers to Ashan (this should not be confused with Ain in the northeast of Canaan, Nm 34:11). See Cities of Refuge.
