Hosah

From BibleEncyclopedia.Net

hō´sa (חסה, ḥōṣāh, "refuge"):

(1) A city on the border of the tribe of Asher, in the neighborhood of Tyre (Joshua 19:29), a little to the south of Zidon. Septuagint reads Iaseíph, which might suggest identification with Kefr Yasīf, to the Northeast of Acre. Possibly, however, as Sayce (HCM, 429) and Moore (Judges, 51) suggest, Hosah may represent the Assyrian Usu. Some scholars think that Usu was the Assyrian name for Palaetyrus. If “the fenced city of Tyre” were that on the island, while the city on the mainland lay at Ras el-‛Ain, 30 stadia to the South (Strabo xvi.758), this identification is not improbable.

(2) A Levite of the family of Merari who was mentioned as a gatekeeper in (1 Chronicles 16:38).
