International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Shebarim:

sheb'-a-rim, she-ba'-rim (ha-shebharim; sunetripsan): After the repulse of the first attack on their city the men of Ai chased the Israelites "even unto Shebarim" (Jos 7:5). the Revised Version margin reads "the quarries"; so Keil, Steuernagel, etc. Septuagint reads "until they were broken," i.e. until the rout was complete. The direction of the flight was of course from Ai toward Gilgal in the Jordan valley. No trace of such name has yet been found.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Shebarim:

(the breaches) a place named in Joshua 7:5 only, as one of the points in the flight from Ai.
