| <p> <strong> ELON </strong> . (‘terebinth’.) <strong> 1. </strong> Of the tribe of Zebulun, one of the minor judges ( Judges 12:11-12 ).

It is perhaps the same as <strong> Elon-beth-hanan </strong> ( 1 Kings 4:9 ). <strong> 2. </strong> An unknown locality in Zebulun ( Judges 12:12 ). </p> <p> R. A. S. Macalister. </p>

| <p> E´lon, of the tribe of Zebulon, who judged [[Israel]] ten years. He was preceded by [[Ibzan]] of Bethlehem, and succeeded by [[Abdon]] of Ephraim. The whole period covered by their administration was twenty-five years (from B.C. 1190 to 1174); but it is probable that they were for a part of this time contemporary, each exercising authority over a few of the tribes. They appear to have overawed the enemies of Israel by their judicious administration; for no war is mentioned in their time . </p>

The second of the three sons of Zebulon (Genesis 46:14), and father of the family of the [[Elonites]] (Numbers 26:26). B.C. 1856. </p> <p> 4. (Hebrews Eylon', אֵילוֹן; Sept. Ε᾿λών, [[Josephus]] ᾿Ηλών, Vulg. Ahialon.) A native of the tribe of Zebulon (perhaps a descendant of the preceding), and the 11th of the [[Hebrew]] judges for ten years (Judges 12:11-12), B.C. 1243-34; which are simply noted as a period of tranquility (comp. Josephus, Ant. 5:7, 14). (See [[Judges]]). </p>
