( שׁמרון , shimrōn ; Codex Vaticanus Συμοών , Sumoṓn ; Codex Alexandrinus Σομερών , Somerṓn 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 ( Joshua 11:1 ). It was in the territory allotted to Zebulun (Joshua 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 Semūniyeh , a village about 5 miles West of Nazareth, on the edge of the plain ( Geog. du Talm ). Beit Laḥm , named by Josephus along with it, is a short distance to the Northwest. Es - Semeirı̄yeh , about 3 miles North of Acre, has also been suggested; but it is perhaps too far to the West.

The present Semuinieh is described in the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey (1:280) as "a small village on a knoll at the edge of the plain of Esdraelon [five miles west of Nazareth], with three springs and contains probably less than one hundred souls." It has "artificial mounds, traces of ruins, and a sarcophagus" (ibid. page 339).
