Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary


SHEMER.—1. The owner of the hill purchased by Omri (1Ki_16:24). 2. A Merarite (1Ch_6:31 (46)). 3. An Asherite (1Ch_7:34, called in 1Ch_7:32 Shomer). 4. A Benjamite (1Ch_8:12). The Heb. MSS show here some confusion between r and d as the final letter of the name. The AV [Note: Authorized Version.] (Shamed) and RV [Note: Revised Version.] (Shemed) retain the reading of the Geneva version, which is based on the Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] Samad.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Owner of the hill which Omri bought for two silver talents. On it Omri built Samaria (Shomeron, Hebrew), named from Shemer Shomer, the form in 1Ch_7:32, answers better to the name Shomeron than Shemer (1Ki_16:24).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


She'mer. (preserved). The owner of the hill, on which the city of Samaria was built. 1Ki_16:24. (B.C. 917). See Samaria.
Smith's Bible Dictionary

shē?mer (שׁמר, shemer; Σέμηρ, Sémēr, Lucian, Σέμμηρ, Sémmēr):
(1) The owner of the hill which Omri bought and which became the site of Samaria (1Ki_16:24, שׁמרון, shōmerōn). Shemer may be an ancient clan name. The fact, however, that the mountain was called Shomeron when Omri bought it makes one doubt that the city of Samaria was named after Shemer; the passage is questionable. The real etymology of Samaria roots it in ?watch mountain? (see Stade, Zeitschrift, 165 f).
(2) A Merarite (1Ch_6:46 (31), Σέμμηρ, Sémmēr).
(3) An Asherite (1Ch_7:34, A and Lucian, Σώμηρ, Sṓmēr), called ?Shomer? in 1Ch_7:32.
(4) A Benjamite (1Ch_8:12, Codex Vaticanus Σήμηρ, Sḗmēr; Codex Alexandrinus Σέμμηρ, Sémmēr; Lucian, Σαμαιήλ, Samaiḗl); the Revised Version (British and American) ?Shemed,? the King James Version ?Shamed.?
The Hebrew manuscripts differ; some read ?Shemer,? others ?Shemedh.?

She?mer (lees), the owner of the hill of Samaria, which derived its name from him. Omri bought the hill for two talents of silver, and built thereon the city, also called Samaria, which he made the capital of his kingdom (1Ki_16:24) [SAMARIA]. As the Israelites were prevented by the law (Lev_25:23) from thus alienating their inheritances, and as his name occurs without the usual genealogical marks, it is more than probable that Shemer was descended from those Canaanites whom the Hebrews had not dispossessed of their lands.

(Heb. id.; שֶׁמֶר, something kept, as lees of wine; Sept. Σεμήρ; Josephus, Σέμαρος, Ant. 8:12, 5), the original owner of the hill of Samaria, which derived its name from him. B.C. 917. Omri bought the hill for two talents of silver, and built thereon the city, also called Samaria, which made the capital of his kingdom (Kings 16:24). We should rather have expected that the name of the city would have been Shimron, for Shmeron would have been the name given after an owner Shomer. This latter form, which occurs in 1Ch_7:32, appears to be that adopted by the Vulgate and Syriac, which read Somer and Shomir respectively; but the Vatican MS. of the Sept. at that place retains the form “Shomer, ” and changes the name of the city to Σεμερών or Σεμηρών. Both names have the same radical meaning, from שָׁמִר, to watch, referring, perhaps, by paronomasia, to this conspicuous post of observation. SEE SAMARIA. As the Israelites were prevented by the law (Lev_21:23) from thus alienating their inheritances, and as his name occurs without the usual genealogical marks, it is more than probable that Shemmer was descended from those Canaanites whom the Hebrews had not dispossessed of their lands.
