SHAMIR (Place)

1. One of the 11 towns in the hill country allotted to Judah. First in the list of towns, Shamir is followed by Jattir (Jos 15:48). Its location is perhaps at el-Bireh, about 12 miles (19.3 kilometers) southwest of Hebron.

2. Town where Tola the judge lived and was later buried. Shamir was in the land of Ephraim (Jgs 10:1-2).
