Sûnem or Shunem was a town of the tribe of Issachar. The form Sulem is found in the word Shulamite (Song of Sol. vi. 13). Here, too, probably stood the house of the Shunammite woman (2 Kings iv. 8). — The Nebi Dahi is for the first time called Hermon by St. Jerome, and has since been known as 'Little Hermon', with a mistaken reference to Ps. lxxxix. 12. The hill Moreh (Judges vii. 1) is supposed to be identical with this range of hills , which derives its present name Nebi Dahi from a makâm or sanctuary of that prophet and a village situated near the top (1815 ft.). The view from the summit is extensive.

SHUNEM.—The road from ’Ain Jâlûd to Sôlem leads across the “ valley of Jezreel,” through rich corn-fields. There is a gentle ascent for about 24 m., when we gain the top of a low swell over which we ride to Sôlem (1 h. from the fountain). This is a flourishing village encompassed by gardens with hedges of prickly-pear ; but there does not appear to be a single vestige of antiquity about it. It lies on the lower slope of Jebel ed-Duhy. Sôlem is the ancient Shunem, a city of Issachar (Josh. xix. 18), and the place where the Philistines encamped before the battle of Gilboa. The ridge behind it is doubtless the “ Hill of Moreh,” by which the Midianites were pitched when Gideon attacked them (Jud. vii. 1). But a more romantic interest is attached to Shunem as the scene of one of those strange episodes that characterize the life of the prophet Elisha. ...
