Hur and Aaron supported the arms of Moses during the battle against Amalek at Rephidim (Ex. 17:10-12). Moses declared that as he went up Sinai, Aaron and Hur would judge the Israelites. Many centuries later, Josephus asserts that Hur was the husband of Moses’ sister Miriam (Ant. 3:2, 4). The OT records nothing about this. (b) One of the five kings of Midian defeated and killed by Moses (Num. 31:8; Josh. 13:21). (c) Father of one of Solomon’s intendants; he lived in the mountainous region of Ephraim (1 Kings 4:8).
