Bor-hassirah

Bor-Has'sirah (Heb. Borhas-Sirah', בּור הִסַּירָה8, cistern of the Sirah; Sept. translates φρέαρ τοῦ Σειράμ), a place in the southern part of Palestine, where Joab's messengers found Abner (2Sa 3:26, where our version renders "well of Sirah"), probably the same as Besira (Βησίρα) of Josephus (Ant. 7:1, 5), twenty stadia from Hebron.
