Haphra'im. (two pits). A city of Issachar, mentioned next to Shunem. Joshua 19:19. About 6 miles northeast of Lejjun, and two miles west of Solam, (the ancient Shunem), stands the village of el' Afuleh, which may possibly be the representative of Haphraim.
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [5]
(Hebrew Chaphara'yim, חֲפָרִיַם, two pits; Sept. Ἀφεραϊ v μ, Vulg. Hapharaim), a place near the border of Issachar, mentioned between Shunem and Shihon (Joshua 19:19). Eusebius (Ononast. s.v.Αἰφαρααίμ,) appears to place it six Roman miles north of Leggio; the Apocrypha also possibly speaks of the same place as APHAEREMA (Ἀφαίρεμα, 1 Maccabees 11:34; com-pare 10:30, 38). Schwarz (Palestine, p. 166) was unable to find it. Kiepert ( Wandkarte von Palastina, 1857) locates it near the river Kishon, apparently at Tell eth Thorah (Robinson's Researches, new ed. 3:115). Dr. Thomson (Land and Book, 1, 502) imagines it may be the modern Shefa Amer (the Shefa Omar of Robinson, Researches, new ed. 3 103, "on a ridge overlooking the plain" of Megiddo), which, he says, "in old Arabic authors is written Shephram." (See Issachar).
