SHAARAIM . 1 . A town of Jadah, in the Shephçlah, mentioned in Joshua 15:36 . Some identify it with Khurbet S‘aîreh , west of Beit ‘Atâb; others with Zakarîya . Shaaraim is perhaps mentioned again in the pursuit of the Philistines after the death of Goliath ( 1 Samuel 17:52 , RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘the two gates’). 2 . A town of Simeon ( 1 Chronicles 4:31 ); called Sharuhen in Joshua 19:5 , and Shilhim in Joshua 15:32 .
