[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.
