One of the Judges of Israel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elon (Hebrew: אֵילֹון ʼĒlōn, "oak") was a leader (judge) of the ancient Israelites according to the biblical Book of Judges.
Elon appears in Judges 12:11–12.[1] He was a member of the Tribe of Zebulun who served as a judge of Israel for ten years. He was preceded by Ibzan and succeeded by Abdon.[2][3][4][5] Elon, along with Tola, Yair, Ibzan, and Abdon are only briefly mentioned and may be the names of clans.[2]
Elon is translated as "Ahialon" in the Douay–Rheims Bible and other translations.
