Sharuhen
Sharuhen
[some Shar’uhen] (Heb. Sharuchen’, , refuge of grace; Sept. [probably reading ]), a town originally in Judah, afterwards set off to Simeon (Jos 19:6); hence in the Negeb, or south country. SEE JUDAH. It seems to be the same elsewhere called SHILHIM (Jos 15:32), or SHAARAIM (1Ch 4:31), but probably by erroneous transcription, in the latter case at least. Knobel (Exeg. Handb. on Jos 15:32) suggests, as a probable identification, Tell Sheri’ah, about ten miles west of Bir-es-Seba, at the head of Wady Sheri’ah (the watering place). Wilton locates it near Ruhaibah (Rehoboth), but his reasons are uncritical (The Negeb, p. 217 sq.). SEE SIMEON.

Sharuhen (2)
The probable representative of this place, Tell esh-Sheriah, lies ten miles north-west of Khurbet Bir es-Seba, and is thus described in the Memoirs to the Ordnance Survey (3:339): “A large mound on the north bank of the valley. Broken pottery and a few small unhewn stones are found on the top. In the valley is a well-cut trough of basalt.”
