Fausset's Bible Dictionary [1]
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.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]

Probably the same with Ebron (in the King James Version "Hebron") in Joshua 19:28 , where some copies have the reading Abdon.
