Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]

Sheerah . A ‘daughter’ of Ephraim, ‘who, according to the MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] of   1 Chronicles 7:24 , built the two Beth-horons and a place of doubtful identity called Uzzenshesrah = ‘portion [? lit. something weighed] of Sheerah.’

 1 Chronicles 7:24

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [3]

shē´ḗ - ra ( שׁארה , she'ĕrāh  ; Codex Alexandrinus Σααρά , Saara , Codex Vaticanus omits): A daughter of Ephraim, who, according to the Massoretic Text of   1 Chronicles 7:24 (the King James Version "Sherah"), built the two Beth-horons and Uzzen-sheerah. The verse has been suspected because elsewhere in the Old Testament the founders of cities are men. Uzzen-sheerah as a place is unidentified; Conder suggests as the site Bēt Sı̄rā , a village 2 miles Southwest of the Lower Beth-horon ( Mem 3 16).
