shā-ha-rā´im (שׁחרים, shaḥărayim; Codex Vaticanus Σααρήλ, Saarḗl; Codex Alexandrinus Σααρήμ, Saarḗm):

A Benjamite name (1 Chronicles 8:8). The passage is corrupt beyond only the most tentative emendation. “Sharaim” has no connection with the foregoing text. One of the suggested restorations of 1 Chronicles 8:8, 1 Chronicles 8:9 reads: “And Shaharaim begat in the field of Moab, after he had driven them (i.e. the Moabites) out, from Hodesh his wife, Jobab,” etc. (Curtis, International Critical Commentary).
