James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Enemessar


Subjects in this Topic:

ENEMESSAR.—Name of a king of Assyria in Gr. MSS of Tob_1:2, where the Syriac and Lat. give Shalmaneser, who is probably meant. The corruption is best accounted for by the loss of Sh and l and the transposition of m and n; but naturally many explanations may be offered without conviction.
