No, he was just holding up Moses arms. We've been having this discussion for years.

Holding up a guys are isn't fighting...

Earthly Battle

‘Fought’ includes any of these forms of participation in a battle:

    fought a war or military campaign,

    commanded military personnel (directly or indirectly), or

    equipped military personnel

Moses was the commander of Israel's Army until Joshua came along. So he would qualify as #2. There is no evidence that Hur did any of the above, he just played a supporting role (in a more literal sense than usual).

Hur didn't "command" personnel indirectly?

Is there a minimum number of people for something to be called a "battle"?  For example, if all that was recorded was that this one guy fought this one other guy, does that make him having "fought in an earthly battle"?  Or does "earthly battle" require more than 1 on each side?

I don't think that it's the number that qualifies it, but rather the scope/purpose of the conflict. If it's a one-on-one fight as part of a war (e.g. David vs. Goliath) then yes, it would be an earthly battle. If it's a fight that is not part of a military campaign, like with Levi and Simeon's revenge spree, then it doesn't matter how many are involved, it wouldn't be an earthly bottle.
