Shunem

Shunem or Shunaam (Hebrew: שׁוּנֵם Šūnēm; in LXX Ancient Greek: Σουνὰν, romanized: Sounàn) was a small village mentioned in the Bible in the possession of the Tribe of Issachar.

It was located near the Jezreel Valley, north of Mount Gilboa (Joshua 19:18).

Shunaam is where the Philistines camped when they fought Saul, the first king of Israel (1 Samuel 28:4).

(2 Kings 4:8) Shunaam is listed as a town conquered by the pharaohs of Egypt Thutmose III and Shoshenk I.

[2][3][4] Shunaam may have been located at the site of the modern village of Sulam.
