Deuteronomy 3:9

Context
3:9 (the Sidonians 1  call Hermon Sirion 2  and the Amorites call it Senir), 3 

1 sn Sidonians were Phoenician inhabitants of the city of Sidon (now in Lebanon), about 47 mi (75 km) north of Mount Carmel.

2 sn Sirion. This name is attested in the Ugaritic texts as sryn. See UT 495.

3 sn Senir. Probably this was actually one of the peaks of Hermon and not the main mountain (Song of Songs 4:8; 1 Chr 5:23). It is mentioned in a royal inscription of Shalmaneser III of Assyria (saniru; see ANET 280).
