SHIMRON-MERON.A Canaanite town, west of Jordan, whose king was among those whom Joshua smote (Jos_12:20). Comparing its position in the list with that of Shimron in the list given in Jos_11:1, we may infer that the two places are identical.

Shim'ron-me'ron. (watch-height of Meron). The king of Shimron-meron is mentioned, as one of the thirty-one kings, vanquished by Joshua. Jos_12:20. It is probably the complete name of the place elsewhere called Shimron, a city of Zebulun. Jos_11:1; Jos_19:15. See Shimron.

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 (Jos_12:20). Here the name is followed by that of Achshaph, which also follows the name of Shimron in Jos_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.
