Shimron-Meron

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Shim'ron-me'ron. (Watch-Height Of Meron). The king of Shimron-meron is mentioned, as one of the thirty-one kings, vanquished by Joshua.  Joshua 12:20. It is probably the complete name of the place elsewhere called Shimron , a city of Zebulun.  Joshua 11:1;  Joshua 19:15. See Shimron .

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Shimron-Meron . A Canaanite town, west of Jordan, whose king was among those whom Joshua smote (  Joshua 12:20 ). Comparing its position in the list with that of Shimron in the list given in   Joshua 11:1 , we may infer that the two places are identical.

shim´ron - mē´ron ( שׁמרון מראון , shimrōn mer'ōn  ; Συμοών ... Μαμρώθ , Sumoṓn ... Mamrṓth , Codex Alexandrinus Σαμρών ... Φασγά ... Μαρών , Samrṓn ... Phasgá ... Marṓn ): A royal city of the Canaanites, the king of which was slain by Joshua (  Joshua 12:20 ). Here the name is followed by that of Achshaph, which also follows the name of Shimron in  Joshua 11:1 . This suggests that the two are in reality one, and that Shimron-meron may only be the full name. A royal Canaanite city, Sam-simuruna, is mentioned in the inscriptions of Sen-nacherib, Esar-haddon and Assur-bani-pal, which Schrader ( KAT2 , 163) would identify with this, and thinks it may now be represented by es - Semeirı̄yeh . See Shimron .
