VIEW:22 DATA:01-04-2020
SHAPHIR.—A city, probably on the Philistine plain (Mic_1:11). It has been located by some a few miles S.E. of Ashdod. Attempts have been made to identify it with the Shamir of Jos_15:48.

shā?fẽr (שׁפיר, shāphı̄r, ?glittering?; καλῶς, kalṓs; the King James Version Saphir): One of a group of towns mentioned in Mic_1:10-15. From the association with Gath, Achzib (of Judah) and Mareshah, it would seem that the places mentioned were in Southwestern Palestine. According to Eusebius, in Onomasticon, there was a Σαφείρ, Sapheı́r, ?in the hill country? (from a confusion with Shamir (Jos_15:48), where Septuagint A has Sapheir) between Eleutheropolis and Ascalon. The name probably survives in that of three villages called es-Sūāfir, in the plain, some 3 1/2 miles Southeast of Ashdod (PEF, II, 413, Sh XV). Cheyne (EB, col. 4282) suggests the white ?glittering? hill Tell eṣ-Ṣāfı, at the entrance to the Wâdy eṣ-Sunt, which was known to the Crusaders as Blanchegarde, but this site seems a more probable one for GATH (which see).
