Deuteronomy 3:9

Archaeological Note. As a natural boundary, separating several nations, Ḥermôn has a name in the language of each. The Phoenicians, Heb. Ṣidonians, on the W. called it Siriôn(cp. Psalms 29:6), the Amorites Senîr, its name in an inscription of Salmanassar II, Sanîru, when he crossed from the coast towards Damascus (Winckler, KAT(3) [114], 44, 190). These names may have been applied to different parts of the long Mt; in 1 Chronicles 5:23, Senîr is joined with, but apparently distinct from, Ḥermôn, cp. Ezekiel 27:5; Song of Solomon 4:8; and Arab, geographers gave the name Jebel Sanîr to the part between Ba-albeḳ and Ḥoms.
