| <p> A city of Simdon. (1 Chronicles 4:31) Probably the same as formerly belonged to Judah. (Joshua 15:36) From [[Shahar]] Shaddai. This is the [[Hebrew]] name for Almighty. Sometime, it is joined, with El; as [[Genesis]] 17:1, and then rendered [[God]] Almighty. But frequently it is alone, as Numbers 24:4; Num 24:16; Job 6:4. [[Indeed]] if I mistake not, it is used in the book of Job not less than thirty times. Some derive this word from Shadad, which signifies to destroy; but others render it very differently, to make all sufficient; [[El]] Shaddai, of many paps, or breasts to suck at. But perhaps [[Shaddai]] means both; for he thus is all sufficient to open thousands of paps to his people, can open as many vials of wrath to pour on his enemies. If the reader would keep both the senses in view; as oft as he meets with El Shaddai, God Almighty, he will find constant paps of consolation to suck for his own comfort, and the comfort of the church in all ages; and as constant consolation for support in the sure destruction of all his, and the church's enemies </p>

| <p> ("two gateways".) A city assigned to [[Judah]] (Joshua 15:36; 1 Samuel 17:52). In the Shephelah. (See SHEPHELAH.) (1 Chronicles 4:31). (See SHILHIM.) The [[Septuagint]] read Sakarim , which favors identifying [[Shaaraim]] with [[Tell]] Zekariah above the southern bank of the valley of Elah, a large hill with terraced sides and caves. </p>

| <p> Sha-ara'im. (two gates). A city, in the territory allotted to Judah, Joshua 15:36, in Authorized Version, incorrectly Sharaim. 1 Samuel 17:52. Shaaraim, one of the towns of Simeon, 1 Chronicles 4:31, must be a different place. </p>

| <p> (Heb. Shaara'yim, שִׁעֲרִיַ ם, two gates; Sept. in Joshua Σακαρίμ, in Samuel αἱ πόλεις , in Chron. Σεωρείμ [v.r. Σαρίμ ]; Vulg. Saraim, Saarim), a town in the "valley" or maritime plain of [[Judah]] (Joshua 15:36, A.V. "Sharaim," where it is named between [[Azekah]] and Adithaim). Its occurrence among the cities of [[Simeon]] (1 Chronicles 4:31) is probably a clerical error for [[Sharuhen]] (Joshua 19:6). "It is mentioned again in the account of the rout which followed the fall of Goliath, where the wounded fell down on the road to [[Shaaraim]] and as far as [[Gath]] and [[Ekron]] (1 Samuel 17:52). These two notices are consistent with each other. [[Goliath]] probably fell in the [[Wady]] es-Sumt, on opposite sides of which stand the representatives of [[Socoh]] and Jarmuth; Gath was at or near [[Tell]] es-Safieh, a few miles west of Socoh at the mouth of the same wady; while Ekron (if ‘ Akir be Ekron) lies farther north. Shaaraim is probably therefore to be looked for somewhere west of Shuweikeh, on the lower slopes of the hills, where they subside into the great plain" (Smith). "The valley of [[Elah]] runs down among the hills for some distance, and then forks below Tell-Zakartah; one branch, or rather side valley, running to Gath (Tell es-Safieh), and the other to the plain of Ekron. Perhaps the town of Shaaraim may have been situated at the fork, and may have taken its name from the ‘ two passes' (see Porter, Hand-book for Sin. and Pal. p. 264)" (Kitto). It is probably identical with. the Ir-Tarain of the [[Talmud]] (Tosephtah, Ahaloth, s.f.), for the [[Chaldee]] tarain has the same meaning, gates (Schwarz, Palest. p. 102). From the associated localities it must be sought in the vicinity of the modern Shahmeh, a village with traces of ruins about two and a half miles south of Ekron (Van de Velde, Memoir, p. 114). Lieut. Conder at first proposed Tell Zakariah as a suitable position for Shaaraim (Quar. Statement of "the Pal. Explor. Fund," 1875, p. 194), but M. Ganneau suggests the ruin. Sa'ireh (ibid. p. 182), mentioned in Dr. Robinson's list (Append. to vol. 3, 1st ed. of Researches) between Shuweikeh and Beit-Netif, in which Lieut. Conder seems finally to coincide (Tent [[Work]] in Pal. 2, 339). </p>

| <p> ''''' shā ''''' - ''''' a ''''' - ''''' rā´im ''''' ( שערים , <i> ''''' sha‛ărayim ''''' </i> , "two gates"; Σακαρείμ , <i> ''''' Sakareı́m ''''' </i> ; the King James Version [[Sharaim]] ): </p> <p> (1) A city in the [[Shephelah]] or "lowland" of [[Judah]] mentioned (Joshua 15:36 ) in close association with [[Socoh]] and Azekah; the vanquished army of the [[Philistines]] passed a [[Shaaraim]] in their flight from Socoh toward [[Gath]] and [[Ekron]] (1 Samuel 17:52 ). It is possible that in this latter reference the "two gates" may refer - as [[Septuagint]] implies - to the two [[Philistine]] strongholds themselves. Shaaraim has been identified with <i> '''''Tell''''' </i> <i> '''''Zakarı̄ya''''' </i> (see however [[Azekah]] ) and with <i> '''''Kh''''' </i> . <i> '''''Sa‛ı̄reh''''' </i> ( <i> PEF </i> , III, 124, Sh Xvii ), an old site West of <i> '''''Beit''''' </i> <i> '''''‛Atāb''''' </i> . Both proposals are hazardous. </p> <p> (2) One of the towns of [[Simeon]] (1 Chronicles 4:31 ), called (Joshua 19:6 ) "Sharuhen" and, as one of the uttermost cities of Judah, called (Joshua 15:32 ) "Shilhim." This town was in Southwestern [[Palestine]] and is very probably identical with the fortress Sharhana, a place of some importance on the road from [[Gaza]] to Egypt. Aahmes (XVIIIth Dynasty) besieged and captured this city in the 5th year of his reign in his pursuit of the flying [[Hyksos]] (Petrie, <i> Hist </i> , II, 22, 35), and a century later Tahutmes III, in the 23rd year of his reign, took the city of [[Sharuhen]] on his way to the siege and capture of [[Megiddo]] (Petrie, <i> Hist </i> , II, 104). On philological grounds <i> '''''Tell''''' </i> <i> '''''esh''''' </i> - <i> '''''Sheri‛ah''''' </i> , 12 miles Northwest of Beersheba, large ruin, has been proposed, but it does not suit at all the [[Egyptian]] data ( <i> PEF </i> , III, 399, Sh Xxiv ). </p>
