Hur

Aaron’s assistant who helped lift Moses’s hands until the Amalekites were defeated at Rephidim (Exodus 17:8–13). He is mentioned again as helping Aaron Watch over Israel while Moses was on Mount Sinai (24:14). According to Josephus, Hur was the husband of Miriam, the sister of Moses (Antiquities 3.2.4).

The fourth of the five kings of Midian who was killed with Balaam by the Israelites under Moses (Numbers 31:8). He is also referred to as one of the “princes of Midian” and “Sihon” (Joshua 13:21).

The father of one of the 12 officers that Solomon chose to provide food for the king’s household (1 Kings 4:8, “Ben-hur” in Berean Standard Bible).

The son of Caleb and Ephrath and the grandfather of Bezalel (1 Chronicles 2:19–20; compare Exodus 31:2; 38:22). Some interpreters regard the Hur in #1 as Bezalel's grandfather. Others think the Hur who assisted Moses was a different man.

The father (or perhaps family name) of Rephaiah, a leader after the exile in Babylon who helped Nehemiah rebuild the Jerusalem wall (Nehemiah 3:9).
