Meaning: Shamer · 1 cross reference · Modern-day map available
This Shamir entry refers to the Judahite hill-country town, distinct from the Ephraimite Shamir associated with Tola already covered elsewhere. It is important because the same name appears in separate tribal settings. First appears in Josh 15:48.1
AI summary: Shamir matters here as part of Judah's southern mountain geography rather than the judgeship tradition in Ephraim. The place belongs to the upland settlement world near Debir.1
A town among the mountains of Judah (Josh. 15:48); probably Somerah, 2 1/2 miles north-west of Debir. 3
