Shu´nem, a town of the tribe of Issachar (), where the Philistines encamped before Saul's last battle (), and to which belonged Abishag, the last wife of David (), and 'the Shunamite woman,' with whom Elisha lodged (; ). Eusebius and Jerome describe it as, in their day, a village, lying five Roman miles from Mount Tabor towards the south. They call it Sulem. It has of late years been recognized in a village called Solam, three miles and a half north of Zerin (Jezreel), which is a small place on the slope of a hill, where nothing occurs to denote an ancient site.
