Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909
A town of Benjamin's allotment (Jos_18:22); the name appears now in Khirbet el Szomra (Seetzen), four miles N. of Jericho, or es Sumrah (Robinson). Also a MOUNT on which the prophet Abijah stood in addressing Jeroboam (2Ch_13:4); in the hilly part of Ephraim, extending into Benjamin's territory. Both town and mount are memorials of the former presence of the Zemarites.

Zemara'im. (double fleece of wool). A town in the allotment of Benjamin, Jos_18:22, perhaps identical with Mount Zemaraim, mentioned in 2Ch_13:4 only, which was "in Mount Ephraim," that is to say, within the general district of the highlands of that great tribe. 2Ch_13:4.

zem-a-rā?im (צמרים, cemārayim; Codex Vaticanus Σαρά, Sará; Codex Alexandrinus Σεμρίμ, Semrı́m): A city in the territory of Benjamin. It is named between Betharabah and Bethel (Jos_18:22), and is probably to be sought East of the latter city. It is usual to identify it with es-Samra, a ruin about 4 miles North of Jericho. Mt. Zemaraim probably derived its name from the city, and must be sought in the neighborhood. On this height, which is said to be in Mt. Ephraim, Abijah, king of Judah, stood when making his appeal to the men of Israel under Jeroboam (2Ch_13:4). If the identification with es-Samra is correct, this hill must be in the uplands to the West, es-Samra being on the floor of the valley. Dillmann (Joshua, at the place) thinks Zemaraim cannot be so far East of Bethel, but may be found somewhere to the South of that town.

(Heb. Tsemara'yim, צְמָרִיַם, double fleece of wool, or perh. the dual of same base as Zemarite [q.v.]), the name of two localities in Palestine.
1. (Sept. Σεμρίμ v.r. Σάρα; Vulg. Semaraim.) One of the ancient towns in the territory allotted to Benjamin (Jos_18:22), where it is grouped in the eastern section of the tribe, and named between Beth-arabah and Bethel; and it would therefore appear to have been situated either in the Jordan valley (Arabah) or on the mountain declivities between it and Bethel. About five miles north of Jericho, in the western edge of the valley of the Jordan, are the ruins of a small town or village, strewn over a low hill, and called Khurbet es-Sumrah, which may be regarded as the modern representative of the old town of Benjamin (Seetzen, Reisen, vol. 4:map; Robinson, Bibl. Res. 1, 569; 3, 292, note; Van de Velde, Memoir; p. 355; De Saulcy, Dead Sea, 2, 20 26; Schwarz, Palest. p. 125). Though little remains above the ground, there are many extensive quarries of sandstone beneath, which are proofs of large buildings once existing in the vicinity (Tristram, Bible Places, p. 103).
2. (Sept. Σομόρων; Vulg. Semeron.) A mountain (הִר) or eminence mentioned in 2Ch_13:4 as being in Mount Ephraim, that is to say, within the general district of the highlands of that great tribe. It appears to have been close to the scene of the engagement mentioned in the narrative, which again may be inferred to have been south of Bethel and Ephraim (2Ch_13:19). It may be said, in passing, that a position so far south is no contradiction to its being in Mount Ephraim, which extended into the contiguous territory of Benjamin. SEE RAMAH. It probably lay adjacent to the above-named town, from which it appears to have derived its name (Reland, Palaest. p. 1058).
