Exegesis
The combined particle-noun unit ʾet-hāhār {אֶת־הָהָ֥ר | ʾet-hāhār} establishes the definite object ‘hill’, while the construct phrase šēm-šemer {שֶׁם־שֶׁ֔מֶר | šēm-šemer} and apposition ʾădōnē hāhār {אֲדֹנֵ֖י הָהָ֥ר | ʾădōnē hāhār} ‘owner of the hill’ clarify the eponymous relationship.
In context — 1 Kings 16:24
And he bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver, and he built on the hill, and he called the name of the city which he built after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.
