al´on ( אלּון , 'allōn , "oak"):

(1) A town in the tribe of Naphtali in northern Palestine (Joshua 19:33 ), according to the King James Version, which follows some Hebrew texts. It is better however to read with the Revised Version (British and American), "oak" (אלון , 'ēlōn ), rather than as proper noun.

(2) A prominent descendant of the tribe of Simeon (1 Chronicles 4:37 ).

(3) The Revised Version (British and American) for Allom of the King James Version in 1 Esdras 5:34 (which see).
