Allon:

oak. (1.) The expression in the Authorized Version of Josh. 19:33, "from Allon to Zaanannim," is more correctly rendered in the Revised Version, "from the oak in Zaanannim." The word denotes some remarkable tree which stood near Zaanannim, and which served as a landmark.

(2.) The son of Jedaiah, of the family of the Simeonites, who expelled the Hamites from the valley of Gedor (1Ch 4:37).

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Allon:

al'-on ('allon, "oak"):

(1) A town in the tribe of Naphtali in northern Palestine (Jos 19:33), according to the King James Version, which follows some Hebrew texts. It is better however to read with the Revised Version (British and American), "oak" ('elon), rather than as proper noun.

(2) A prominent descendant of the tribe of Simeon (1Ch 4:37).

(3) the Revised Version (British and American) for ALLOM of the King James Version in 1 Esdras 5:34 (which see).

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Allon:

(an oak) a large strong tree of some description probably an oak.

(1.) ALLON more accurately ELON, a place named among the cities of Naphtali (Joshua 19:33). SEE [ELON]. Probably the more correct construction is to take it with the following word, i.e., the oak by Zaanannim.

(2.) ALLON BACHUTH (oak of weeping). the tree under which Rebekah's nurse, Deborah, was buried (Genesis 35:8).

(3.) A Simeonite, ancestor of Ziza, a prince of his tribe in the reign of Hezekiah (1 Chronicles 4:37). (B.C. 727)
