Shimron
Shimron
(Heb. Shimron’, , watch-height), the name of a man and also of a place, SEE SHIMRON-MERON.
1. (Sept. v. r. , etc.). Last named of the four sons of Issachar (Gen 46:13; 1Ch 7:1,” Shimrom” in later editions). and head of the family of the Shimrunites (Num 26:24). B.C. 1874.
2. (Sept. v. r. and .) A town of Zebulon (Jos 19:15, where it is named between Nahallal and Idalah),one of those which joined the northern confederacy under Jabin against Joshua. Jos 11:5), and apparently the same elsewhere (12:20) more fully called Shimron-meron (q.v.). Eusebius and Jerome in the Onomasticon confound it with Samaria. The old Jewish traveller Hap-Parchi fixes it at two hours east of Engannim (Jenin), south of the mountains of Gilboa, at a village called in his day Dar Meron (Ashier, Benjamin, ii, 434). This is in. accordance with the tradition existing among the Jews of Safed that Shimron-meron is identical with the sacred village of Meiron, where the tombs of the rabbins Hillel and Shammai are still preserved and honored (Wilson, Lands of the Bible, ii,3 13). Schwarz, with greater probability (see Reland, Palest. p. 1017, Gesenius, Thes. Heb. p. 1445), proposes (Palest. p. 172) to identify it with the Simonias of Josephus (Life, 24), now Siminlyveh, a. village a few miles west of Nazareth, which is mentioned in the Talmud (Jerus. Megillah, c. 1) as the ancient Shimron.

Shimron (2)
(, shimron; Codex Vaticanus , Sumoon; Codex Alexandrinus , Someron and other forms): A town whose king was tributary to Jabin king of Hazor, and who joined in the attempt to resist the invasion under Joshua (Jos 11:1). It was in the territory allotted to Zebulun (Jos 19:15). No sure identification is yet possible. The Septuagint and the Talmud both omit the r from the name; and Neubauer would identify it with Simonias (Vita, 24), the Simonia of the Talmud, which is now represented by Semuniyeh, a village about 5 miles West of Nazareth, on the edge of the plain (Geog. du Talm). Beit Lahm, named by Josephus along with it, is a short distance to the Northwest. Es-Semeiryeh, about 3 miles North of Acre, has also been suggested; but it is perhaps too far to the West.
