| <p> [some Shic'ron] (Heb. Shikron', ]שַׁכְרוֹ '', Drunkenness'' [as in Ezekiel 23:33; Ezekiel 39:19; but Furst says fruitfulness]; Sept. Σοκχώθ v.r.Ἀκκαρωνά [imitating the ה directive]), a town near the western end of the northern boundary of Judah, between Ekron and Mt. [[Baalah]] towards Jabneel ( Joshua 15:11). It seems to have been in Dan, as it is not enumerated among the cities of Judah ( Joshua 15:21-63). The [[Targum]] gives it as ''Shikaron'' , and with this agrees [[Eusebius]] (''Onomast.'' s.v. Σαχωράν )'','' 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. </p>

Shicron [1]
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).
