Allom

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

al´om ( Ἀλλών , Allō̇n ): the Revised Version (British and American) Allon (which see): One of the families of the "servants of Solomon," whose descendants returned with Zerubbabel from Babylon in the First Return, 537 bc (1 Esdras 5:34). The name is not found in the parallel lists of Ezra and Nehemiah, although some have tried to identify with the last name of each list, Ami of Ezra 2:57 , and Amon of Nehemiah 7:59 . This is not probable.
