Subjects in this Topic:
ELON.—(‘terebinth’.)—1. Of the tribe of Zebulun, one of the minor judges (Jdg_12:11-12). All that is told of him is simply that he judged Israel for ten years, that he died, and was buried in Elon in Zebulun. 2. A son of Zebulun (Gen_46:14, Num_26:26, where the gentilic name Elonites occurs). 3. A Hittite, the father-in-law of Esau (Gen_26:34; Gen_36:2).
ELON.—1. A town in the territory of Dan, now unknown (Jos_19:43). It is perhaps the same as Elon-beth-hanan (1Ki_4:9). 2. An unknown locality in Zebulun (Jdg_12:12).
