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 .
