<p> | <p> A city of [[Asher]] given to the [[Levites]] of Gershom's family: Joshua 21:30; 1 Chronicles 6:74. [[Hebron]] is substituted for it in Joshua 19:28. Many manuscripts there read "Abdon"; the [[Hebrew]] letters '''''Resh''''' ( '''''ר''''' ) and '''''Daleth''''' ( '''''ד''''' ) are very similar, and therefore often interchanged. </p> | ||

<p> '''''ab´don''''' ( עבדּון , <i> ''''''abhdōn''''' </i> , perhaps "service"): One of the four [[Levitical]] cities in the tribe of Asher ( Joshua 21:30; 1 Chronicles 6:74 ). Probably the same with [[Ebron]] (in the King James Version "Hebron") in Joshua 19:28 , where some copies have the reading Abdon. Now called Abdeh, a few miles from the [[Mediterranean]] and about fifteen miles south of Tyre. </p> | <p> ''''' ab´don ''''' ( עבדּון , <i> ''''' 'abhdōn ''''' </i> , perhaps "service"): One of the four [[Levitical]] cities in the tribe of Asher ( Joshua 21:30; 1 Chronicles 6:74 ).
