la-shā´ron, la-shaÌ‚r´on (לשּ×רון, lashshaÌ„roÌ„n or la-shaÌ„roÌ„n, the King James Version Sharon): A royal city of the Canaanites taken by Joshua, named with Aphek (). Possibly we should here follow the reading of Septuagint (Codex Vaticanus), “the king of Aphek in Sharon.†Eusebius, Onomasticon (s.v. “Saronâ€) mentions a region between Mt. Tabor and the Lake of Tiberias called Sarona. This is probably represented by the ancient site Sarona, on the plateau 6 1/2 miles Southwest 2 of Tiberias. If Massoretic Text is correct, this may be the place intended.
