ELON (2): ELON (2).

e'-lon ('elon, a "terebinth"; Ailon):

An unidentified town in the territory of Da named between Ithlah and Timnah (Jos 19:43). It is possibly identical with Elon-beth-Hanan which, along with Shaalbim and Bethshemesh, formed one of Solomon's commissariat districts (1Ki 4:9).

Conder has suggested Beit' Anan, about 4 miles Northwest of Neby Samwil: it is quite uncertain.
