LASSHARON . A town taken by Joshua ( Joshua 12:18 ). LXX [Note: Septuagint.] B reads here ‘the king of Aphek in Sharon.’ The Onomasticon gives the name of ‘Sharon’ to a second district, viz. that between Mount Tabor and Tiberias. The name Sarôna attaches to an ancient site on the plateau, 6 1 / 2 miles S.W. of Tiberias, which may possibly represent Lassharon (Conder).

la - shā´ron , la - shâr´on ( לשּׁרון , lashshārōn or la - shārōn , the King James Version Sharon ): A royal city of the Canaanites taken by Joshua, named with Aphek ( Joshua 12:18 ). Possibly we should here follow the reading of Septuagint (Codex Vaticanus), "the king of Aphek in Sharon." Eusebius, Onomasticon (s.v. "Saron") 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.
