This is quite possible, ''If Only We [[Could]] [[Look]] For [[Lasharon]] So Far To The North.'' Bachiene and Rosenmuller imagine it to be the village of ''Sharon,'' in the celebrated plain of that name, between [[Lydda]] and Arsof." Nevertheless, Conder ''(Tent Work,'' 2:338) and Trelawney Saunders ''(Map Of The O.T.)'' adopt the above position ''At- Sarona,'' which is laid down on the ''Ordnance Map'' at six miles west of the south end of the sea of Galilee, and described in the accompanying ''Memoirs'' (1:414, quoting from Guerin) thus, "The houses are rudely built on two hillocks, which lie round a valley watered by a spring, which is contained in a sort of square chamber, the roof of which is formed of large slabs, and which is preceded by a large vaulted chamber in very regular cut stones, the whole of ancient appearance." [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] state ''(Onomast.'' s.v. Sarona) that the region between [[Tabor]] and the lake of [[Tiberias]] was called [[Sharon]] in their time. </p> |

| <p> [many Lasha'ron] (Heb. Lashsharon', לִשָּׁרוֹן, signif. unknown; Sept. Λεσαρών '','' but almost all copies omit; Vulg. ''Sarmon,'' but in the Benedictine text ''Lassaron),'' one of the [[Canaanitish]] towns whose kings were killed by Joshua ( Joshua 12:18). "Some difference of opinion has been expressed as to whether the first syllable is an integral part of the name or the [[Hebrew]] preposition with the art. implied (see Keil, ''Josua,'' ad loc.). But there seems to be no warrant for supposing the existence of a particle before this one name, which certainly does not exist before either of the other thirty names in the list. Such, at least, is the conclusion of Bochart ''(Hieroz.'' 1, chapter 31), Reland ''(Palaest.'' 871), and others, a conclusion supported by the reading of the Targum, and the Arabic Version, and also by Jerome, if the Benedictine text can be relied on. The opposite conclusion of the Vulgate, given above, is adopted by [[Gesenius]] ''(Thesaurus,'' page 642, b), but not on very clear grounds, his chief argument being apparently that, as the name of a town, [[Sharon]] would not require the article affixed, which, as that of a district, it always bears. The name has vanished from both the Vat. and Alex. MSS. of the Sept., unless a trace exists in the Ο᾿φεκτησαρώκ of the Vat." (Smith). Masius supposes [[Lasharon]] to be the place mentioned in Acts 9:35, where the reading of some MSS. is Ἀσσάρωνα instead of Σάρωνα; but there is no evidence to support such a view. From the fact that in Joshua it is named between Aphek and Madon, a writer in Fairbairn's ''Dictionary'' argues for a position at the modern ''Saruneh,'' south-east of [[Tiberias]] (Robinson, ''Bibl. Res.'' 3, Appendix, page 131); but the reasoning is wholly inconclusive, and the location utterly out of the question. Lasharon was possibly the same place with the [[Lasha]] of Genesis 10:19. </p>

Lasharon [1]
Concerning this place Keil remarks (Commentary, Joshua 12:18), "Knobel supposes it to be the place called Saruneh, to the west of the lake of Tiberias, and conjectures that the name has been contracted from Lassaron by the aphaeresis of the liquid. This is quite possible, If Only We Could Look For Lasharon So Far To The North. Bachiene and Rosenmuller imagine it to be the village of Sharon, in the celebrated plain of that name, between Lydda and Arsof." Nevertheless, Conder (Tent Work, 2:338) and Trelawney Saunders (Map Of The O.T.) adopt the above position At- Sarona, which is laid down on the Ordnance Map at six miles west of the south end of the sea of Galilee, and described in the accompanying Memoirs (1:414, quoting from Guerin) thus, "The houses are rudely built on two hillocks, which lie round a valley watered by a spring, which is contained in a sort of square chamber, the roof of which is formed of large slabs, and which is preceded by a large vaulted chamber in very regular cut stones, the whole of ancient appearance." Eusebius and Jerome state (Onomast. s.v. Sarona) that the region between Tabor and the lake of Tiberias was called Sharon in their time.
