Shocho
(2 Chronicles 28:18) one of the four varieties of the name Socoh.
Shochoh
(1 Samuel 17:1) same as Socoh.
Shoco
(2 Chronicles 11:7) a variation in the Authorized Version of the name Socoh.
Shoe
[Sandal]
Shoham
(onyx), a Merarite Levite, son of Jaaziah. (1 Chronicles 24:27) (B.C.1043.)
Shomer
(keeper).
•An Asherite, (1 Chronicles 7:32) also called Shamer. ver. (1 Chronicles 7:34)
•The father (mother ?) of Jehozabad who slew King Joash. (2 Kings 12:21) In the parallel passage
in (2 Chronicles 24:26) the name is converted into the feminine form Shimrith, who is further
described as a Moabitess. [Shimrith] (B.C. 839.)
Shophach
(expansion), Shobach, the general of Hadarezer. (1 Chronicles 19:16,18) (B.C. 1034.)
Shophan
(bareness), one of the fortified towns on the east of Jordan which were taken possession of and
rebuilt by the tribe of Gad. (Numbers 32:35)
Shoshannim
(lilies). “To the chief musician upon Shoshannim” is a musical direction to the leader of the
temple choir which occurs in (Psalms 45:1; 69:1) and most probably indicates the melody “after”
or “in the manner of” (Authorized Version upon”) which the psalms were to be sung.
Shoshannim-eduth occurs in the same way in the title of (Psalms 80:1) ... As the words now stand
they signify “lilies, a testimony,” and the two are separated by a large distinctive accent. In
themselves they have no meaning in the present text, and must therefore be regarded as probably
a fragment of the beginning of an older psalm with which the choir were familiar.
Shuah
(wealth).
•Son of Abraham by Keturah. (Genesis 25:2; 1 Chronicles 1:32).) (B.C. before 1820.)
•Properly Shuchah brother of Chelub. (1 Chronicles 4:11)

before 1725.)
Shual
(a jackal), son of Zophah, an Asherite. (1 Chronicles 7:36) (B.C. after 1445.)
Shual, The Land Of
a district named in (1 Samuel 13:17) only. It is pretty certain from the passage that it lay north
of Michmash. If therefore it be identical with the “land of Shalim” (1 Samuel 9:4)—as is not
impossible—we have the first and only clue yet obtained to Saul’s journey in quest of the asses.
The name Shual has not yet been identified.
Shubael
- Shebuel the son of Gershon. (1 Chronicles 24:20)
