From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Shunem
      two resting-places, a little village in the tribe of Issachar,
      to the north of Jezreel and south of Mount Gilboa (Josh. 19:18),
      where the Philistines encamped when they came against Saul (1
      Sam. 28:4), and where Elisha was hospitably entertained by a
      rich woman of the place. On the sudden death of this woman's son
      she hastened to Carmel, 20 miles distant across the plain, to
      tell Elisha, and to bring him with her to Shunem. There, in the
      "prophet's chamber," the dead child lay; and Elisha entering it,
      shut the door and prayed earnestly: and the boy was restored to
      life (2 Kings 4:8-37). This woman afterwards retired during the
      famine to the low land of the Philistines; and on returning a
      few years afterwards, found her house and fields in the
      possession of a stranger. She appealed to the king at Samaria,
      and had them in a somewhat remarkable manner restored to her
      (comp. 2 Kings 8:1-6).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Simeon
      hearing. (1.) The second son of Jacob by Leah (Gen. 29:33). He
      was associated with Levi in the terrible act of vengeance
      against Hamor and the Shechemites (34:25, 26). He was detained
      by Joseph in Egypt as a hostage (42:24). His father, when dying,
      pronounced a malediction against him (49:5-7). The words in the
      Authorized Version (49:6), "they digged down a wall," ought to
      be, as correctly rendered in the Revised Version, "they houghed
      an ox."
     
         (2.) An aged saint who visited the temple when Jesus was being
      presented before the Lord, and uttered lofty words of
      thankgiving and of prophecy (Luke 2:29-35).
     
         (3.) One of the ancestors of Joseph (Luke 3:30).
     
         (4.) Surnamed Niger, i.e., "black," perhaps from his dark
      complexion, a teacher of some distinction in the church of
      Antioch (Acts 13:1-3). It has been supposed that this was the
      Simon of Cyrene who bore Christ's cross. Note the number of
      nationalities represented in the church at Antioch.
     
         (5.) James (Acts 15:14) thus designates the apostle Peter
      (q.v.).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Simon
      the abbreviated form of Simeon. (1.) One of the twelve apostles,
      called the Canaanite (Matt. 10:4; Mark 3:18). This word
      "Canaanite" does not mean a native of Canaan, but is derived
      from the Syriac word Kanean or Kaneniah, which was the name of a
      Jewish sect. The Revised Version has "Cananaean;" marg., "or
      Zealot" He is also called "Zelotes" (Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13; R.V.,
      "the Zealot"), because previous to his call to the apostleship
      he had been a member of the fanatical sect of the Zealots. There
      is no record regarding him.
     
         (2.) The father of Judas Iscariot (John 6:71; 13:2, 26).
     
         (3.) One of the brothers of our Lord (Matt. 13:55; Mark 6:3).
     
         (4.) A Pharisee in whose house "a woman of the city which was
      a sinner" anointed our Lord's feet with ointment (Luke 7:36-38).
     
         (5.) A leper of Bethany, in whose house Mary anointed our
      Lord's head with ointment "as he sat at meat" (Matt. 26:6-13;
      Mark 14:3-9).
     
         (6.) A Jew of Cyrene, in North Africa, then a province of
      Libya. A hundred thousand Jews from Palestine had been settled
      in this province by Ptolemy Soter (B.C. 323-285), where by this
      time they had greatly increased in number. They had a synagogue
      in Jerusalem for such of their number as went thither to the
      annual feasts. Simon was seized by the soldiers as the
      procession wended its way to the place of crucifixion as he was
      passing by, and the heavy cross which Christ from failing
      strength could no longer bear was laid on his shoulders. Perhaps
      they seized him because he showed sympathy with Jesus. He was
      the "father of Alexander and Rufus" (Matt. 27:32). Possibly this
      Simon may have been one of the "men of Cyrene" who preached the
      word to the Greeks (Acts 11:20).
     
         (7.) A sorcerer of great repute for his magical arts among the
      Samaritans (Acts 8:9-11). He afterwards became a professed
      convert to the faith under the preaching of Philip the deacon
      and evangelist (12, 13). His profession was, however, soon found
      to be hollow. His conduct called forth from Peter a stern rebuke
      (8:18-23). From this moment he disappears from the Church's
      history. The term "Simony," as denoting the purchase for money
      of spiritual offices, is derived from him.
     
         (8.) A Christian at Joppa, a tanner by trade, with whom Peter
      on one occasion lodged (Acts 9:43).
     
         (9.) Simon Peter (Matt. 4:18). See {PETER}.
