SHIMRON

(Heb. šimrôn),

SHIMRON-MERON

(šimrôn mĕrʾôn)

A royal Canaanite town that allied with King Jabin of Hazor’s confederation against the Israelites (Josh. 11:1). The alliance was defeated by the Israelites under Joshua’s leadership (Josh. 12:19-20). The defeated town appears in the MT as Shimron-meron, but the LXX is probably more accurate in listing two separate towns. Shimron was later allotted to the territory of Zebulun (Josh. 19:15). The town is traditionally identified with Khirbet Sammûniyeh/Tel Shimron (170234), ca. 8 km. (5 mi.) W of Nazareth.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
