Where Shihor appears in Scripture
מִֽן-הַשִּׁיחוֹר אֲשֶׁר׀ עַל-פְּנֵי מִצְרַיִם וְעַד גְּבוּל עֶקְרוֹן צָפוֹנָה לַֽכְּנַעֲנִי תֵּֽחָשֵׁב חֲמֵשֶׁת׀ סַרְנֵי פְלִשְׁתִּים הָֽעַזָּתִי וְהָֽאַשְׁדּוֹדִי הָֽאֶשְׁקְלוֹנִי הַגִּתִּי וְהָֽעֶקְרוֹנִי וְהָֽעַוִּֽים׃
From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted to the Canaanite: five lords of the Philistines; the Gazathites, and the Ashdothites, the Eshkalonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites:
וַיַּקְהֵל דָּוִיד אֶת-כָּל-יִשְׂרָאֵל מִן-שִׁיחוֹר מִצְרַיִם וְעַד-לְבוֹא חֲמָת לְהָבִיא אֶת-אֲרוֹן הָֽאֱלֹהִים מִקִּרְיַת יְעָרִֽים׃
So David gathered together, all Israel from Shihor of Egypt even unto the entering of Hemath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath-jearim.
וּבְמַיִם רַבִּים זֶרַע שִׁחֹר קְצִיר יְאוֹר תְּבֽוּאָתָהּ וַתְּהִי סְחַר גּוֹיִֽם׃
And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations.
וְעַתָּה מַה-לָּךְ לְדֶרֶךְ מִצְרַיִם לִשְׁתּוֹת מֵי שִׁחוֹר וּמַה-לָּךְ לְדֶרֶךְ אַשּׁוּר לִשְׁתּוֹת מֵי נָהָֽר׃
And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river?
