From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Zemarite
      the designation of one of the Phoenician tribes (Gen. 10:18) who
      inhabited the town of Sumra, at the western base of the Lebanon
      range. In the Amarna tablets (B.C. 1400) Zemar, or Zumur, was
      one of the most important of the Phoenician cities, but it
      afterwards almost disappears from history.
