Ascent of Gur
구르 비탈
Named at 2 Kings 9:27 as by Ibleam: “But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, ‘Strike him also in the chariot!’ They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.” The Korean Revised Version names no one who strikes him (이블르암 가까운 구르 비탈에서 치니).

Names in the World English Bible text that carry this entry’s tag. They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
