CCEL

Textual variant Soubēn (Greek).

Perhaps the tradition confuses this with the Shulamite of Canticles.

It is at Sulem about 3 miles south of Naim (K. 140:3) and correctly located 5 miles from Thabor.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Sonim, scarlet colored" (97).

859. Sion (Seon or Soen). Joshua 19:19; K. 158:13; L. 284:58.

Vague location may point to 'ajun esh sha'en , but it could be the same as the previous location. Jerome alone gives an alternate. A' has Seian.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Seon, his seeds" (97).

860. Sasima. Joshua 19:22; K. 158:15; L. 284:60.

Simple border listing.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Sassim, going out he stayed" (97).

861. Sior. Joshua 19:26; K. 158:16; L. 284:61.

Simple tribal listing.

862. Sennanein. Joshua 19:33; K. 158:17; L. 284:62.

Textual variant Sennanim (Latin).

Summary of biblical information and geography (Judges 13:25 and cf. K. 88:12).

This form is from the MT not from the LXX (cf. K. 160:2).

864. Sames. Joshua 19:41; K. 158:20; L. 285:65.

Textual variant Samer (Greek).

Cf. K. 54:11 and K. 32:26.

865. Salabein (Salabeim). Joshua 19:41; K. 158:21; L. 285:66.

Salaba is only vaguely located, perhaps Onomasticon points to site (not the Old Testament site) at Kh Selhab north of Tubas (cf. K. 100:11).

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Salabin, growing intelligence" (91).

866. Sepheth. Judges 1:17; K. 158:23; L. 285:68.
