Shunem:
(double resting‐place) one of the cities allotted to the tribe of Issachar (Joshua 13:18). It is mentioned on two occasions-(1 Samuel 23:4; 2 Kings 4:8). It was besides the native place of Abishag (1 Kings 1:3). It is mentioned by Eusebius as five miles south of Mount Tabor, and then known us Sulem. This agrees with the position of the present Solam, a village three miles north of Jezreel and five from Gilboa.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
