shafer (, shaphr, glittering; , kalos; the King James Version Saphir): One of a group of towns mentioned in Mic 1:10-15. From the association with Gath, Achzib (of Judah) and Mareshah, it would seem that the places mentioned were in Southwestern Palestine. According to Eusebius, in Onomasticon, there was a , Sapher, in the hill country (from a confusion with Shamir (Jos 15:48), where Septuagint A has Sapheir) between Eleutheropolis and Ascalon. The name probably survives in that of three villages called es-Suafir, in the plain, some 3 1\/2 miles Southeast of Ashdod (PEF, II, 413, Sh XV). Cheyne (EB, col. 4282) suggests the white glittering hill Tell es-Saf, at the entrance to the Wady es-Sunt, which was known to the Crusaders as Blanchegarde, but this site seems a more probable one for GATH (which see).<\/p>\n
