Shicron
Shicron
[some Shic’ron] (Heb. Shikron’, ], drunkenness [as in Eze 23:33; Eze 39:19; but Furst says fruitfulness]; Sept. v.r. [imitating the directive]), a town near the western end of the northern boundary of Judah, between Ekron and Mt. Baalah towards Jabneel (Jos 15:11). It seems to have been in Dan, as it is not enumerated among the cities of Judah (Jos 15:21-63). The Targum gives it as Shikaron, and with this agrees Eusebius (Onomast. s.v. ), though no knowledge of the locality of the place is to be gained from his notice. Neither Schwarz (Palest. p. 98) nor Porter (Handb. for Pal. p. 275) has discovered any trace of it. It is, perhaps, the present ruined village Beit Shit, about halfway between Ekron and Ashdod.

Shicron (2)
is thought by Tristram (Bible Places, page 34) to be the modern Zernuka, which lies two and a half miles north-east of Yebnah (Jabneh), and is “a large mud village, with cactus hedges around it, and wells in the gardens” (Memoirs to Ordnance Survey, 2:414). Lieut. Conder suggests (Quar. Statement of “Pal. Explor. Fund,” October 1876, page 170, note) that it may be the Khurbet Sukereir, a small ruined khan, near the river of the same name, four and a half miles south-west of Yebnah, and exhibiting traces of a cistern, a reservoir, a viaduct, and a canal (Memoirs, 2:425).
