Sur

Sur is not a person but the name of a gate at the temple or royal palace in Jerusalem, mentioned in 2 Kings 11:6 as one of the posts assigned to the guard during Jehoiada's coup, which placed the young Joash on the throne and removed the usurper Athaliah. The parallel account in 2 Chronicles 23:5 calls the same gate "the gate of the foundation," suggesting either an alternate name for the same entrance or a variation between the two accounts. Its appearance in older name lists likely comes from treating the Hebrew phrase "gate of Sur" as though the second word were a personal name.
