Asher:
Eusebius says this was a town in his time not far from Neapolis, towards Scythopolis or Bethshan; between which towns it is also placed by the old Jerusalem Itinerary.

Michmethah:
Situated, probably, east of Shechem, though its precise situation, as well as that of many others, cannot, at this distance of time, be ascertained. Many of these towns were small, and we may rationally conclude, slightly built; and consequently have perished more than two thousand years ago. It would therefore be useless now to look for such places; though in many instances, their ancient names have been preserved, and their sites identified. Several towns even in England, mentioned by Cesar and other ancient writers, are no longer discernible; several have changed their names, and not a few their situation. "And the borderª went outª ° toward the seaª to Michmethahª on the north side;ª ¹ and the borderª went aboutª ° eastwardª unto Taanathshiloh,ª and passed² ° by¹ it on the eastª ¹ to Janohah;ª ... The borderª went out² °¹ from Tappuahª ¹ westwardª unto the riverª Kanah;ª and the goings outª thereof were¹ at the sea.ª This¹ [is] the inheritanceª of the tribeª of the childrenª of Ephraimª by their families.ª" {Jsh 16:6-8}

Shechem:
"And they appointedª °¹ Kedeshª in Galileeª in mountª Naphtali,ª and Shechemª in mountª Ephraim,ª and Kirjatharba,ª which¹ [is] Hebron,ª in the mountainª of Judah.ª" {Jsh 20:7} + "For they gaveª ° them¹ Shechemª with¹ her suburbsª in mountª Ephraim,ª [to be]¹ a cityª of refugeª for the slayer;ª ° and Gezerª with¹ her suburbs,ª" {Jsh 21:21} + "And Joshuaª gatheredª °¹ all¹ the tribesª of Israelª to Shechem,ª and calledª ° for the eldersª of Israel,ª and for their heads,ª and for their judges,ª ° and for their officers;ª ° and they presented² ° themselves¹ beforeª God.ª" {Jsh 24:1} + "And the bonesª of Joseph,ª which¹ the childrenª of Israelª brought upª ° out of Egypt,ª ¹ buriedª ° they in Shechem,ª in a parcelª of groundª which¹ Jacobª boughtª ° of¹ ¹ the sonsª of Hamorª the fatherª of Shechem² ¹ for an hundredª pieces of silver:ª and it became¹ the inheritanceª of the childrenª of Joseph.ª" {Jsh 24:32} + "And when Shechem² ¹ the sonª of Hamorª the Hivite,ª princeª of the country,ª sawª ° her, he tookª ° her, and lay² ° with¹ her, and defiled¹ her.² °" {Gen 34:2} + "And his brethrenª went² °¹ to feedª °¹ their father'sª flockª in Shechem.ª" {Gen 37:12} + "And he saidª ° to him, Go,² °¹ I pray thee,¹ seeª ° whether¹ it be wellª with thy brethren,ª and wellª with the flocks;ª and bringª ° me wordª again.² ° So he sentª ° him out of the valeª ¹ of Hebron,ª and he cameª ° to Shechem.ª" {Gen 37:14} + "And Abimelechª the sonª of Jerubbaalª went² °¹ to Shechemª unto¹ his mother'sª brethren,ª and communedª ° with¹ them, and with¹ all¹ the familyª of the houseª of his mother'sª father,ª saying,ª °" {Jdg 9:1} + "And Rehoboamª went² °¹ to Shechem:ª for¹ all¹ Israelª were comeª ° to Shechemª to make him king.ª °¹" {1Kg 12:1} + "Then Jeroboamª builtª °¹ Shechemª in mountª Ephraim,ª and dweltª ° therein; and went outª ° from thence,¹ ¹ and builtª °¹ Penuel.ª" {1Kg 12:25} + "And they gaveª ° unto them, [of]¹ the citiesª of refuge,ª ¹ Shechemª in mountª Ephraimª with her suburbs;ª [they gave] also Gezerª with her suburbs,ª" {1Ch 6:67}
