    Description

    Shimron in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Shimron, also known as Shimron-meron, was a Canaanite city mentioned in the conquest narratives of the book of Joshua. It first appears in the account of the northern coalition of Canaanite kings who gathered to fight against Israel (Josh. 11:1). The king of Shimron-meron is listed among those who joined forces with Jabin, king of Hazor, to oppose Joshua and the Israelites.

    In the subsequent battle, Joshua and the Israelites defeated the Canaanite coalition, including the king of Shimron-meron (Josh. 12:20). The city of Shimron was later allotted to the tribe of Zebulun as part of their inheritance in the Promised Land (Josh. 19:15).

    The exact location of Shimron is uncertain, but it was likely situated in the northern part of Canaan, in the region later known as Galilee. Some scholars propose identifying Shimron with the archaeological site of Tel Shimron, located in the Jezreel Valley, near the modern-day town of Timrat. However, this identification remains tentative due to limited archaeological evidence.

    The mention of Shimron in the conquest narratives highlights the extent of the Canaanite opposition to Israel's entrance into the Promised Land and the subsequent victory of Joshua and the Israelites under God's guidance. The allotment of Shimron to the tribe of Zebulun underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to give the land to His people as an inheritance.

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
