Allom
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [1]
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.

(Ἀλλώμ v. r. Ἀδλών ), one of the "servants of Solomon," whose descendants are said to have returned from the captivity (1 Esdras 5:34); but as the genuine text (Ezra 2:57) has no such (nor the preceding) name, it is probably an error of copyists or editors for the appellative ἄλλων, "of others" (Fritzsche, Handb. in loc.), unless for AMON (See Amon) .
