Strong's Lexicon Shemer: Shemer Original Word: שֶׁמֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַר (shamar), meaning "to guard" or "to keep." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Shemer, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the Greek term Σαμάρεια (Samareia) corresponds to Samaria, the city named after Shemer. Usage: The name Shemer is used in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name. It is most notably associated with an individual who was the original owner of the hill purchased by King Omri, which later became the site of the city of Samaria. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. The root שָׁמַר (shamar) suggests a sense of guarding or preserving, which may reflect the role or reputation of the individual named Shemer. The hill of Shemer, purchased by Omri, became a central location in the Northern Kingdom of Israel, highlighting the importance of Shemer's legacy in the biblical narrative.
