  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  Zorah 
  place  of  wasps,  a  town  in  the  low  country  of  Judah,  afterwards 
  given  to  Dan  (Josh.  19:41;  Judg.  18:2),  probably  the  same  as 
  Zoreah  (Josh.  15:33).  This  was  Samson's  birthplace  (Judg.  13:2, 
  25),  and  near  it  he  found  a  grave  (16:31).  It  was  situated  on 
  the  crest  of  a  hill  overlooking  the  valley  of  Sorek,  and  was 
  fortified  by  Rehoboam  (2  Chr.  11:10).  It  has  been  identified 
  with  Sur'ah,  in  the  Wady  Surar,  8  miles  west  of  Jerusalem.  It  is 
  noticed  on  monuments  in  the  fifteenth  century  B.C.  as  attacked 
  by  the  Abiri  or  Hebrews.
