Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898)
'SO'REK, VALLEY OF (a choice vine), the home of Delilah, whom Samson loved. Jud 16:4. Conder identifies it with the present Wady Surar, which has a broad flat valley, in the neighborhood of Beth-shemesh and Zorah. On the northern side of this valley is a ruin called Surik. Perhaps it was along this same valley that the lowing kine drew the ark. See Beth-shemesh.
