ELON.—(‘terebinth’.)—1. Of the tribe of Zebulun, one of the minor judges (Jdg_12:11-12). All that is told of him is simply that he judged Israel for ten years, that he died, and was buried in Elon in Zebulun. 2. A son of Zebulun (Gen_46:14, Num_26:26, where the gentilic name Elonites occurs). 3. A Hittite, the father-in-law of Esau (Gen_26:34; Gen_36:2).
ELON.—1. A town in the territory of Dan, now unknown (Jos_19:43). It is perhaps the same as Elon-beth-hanan (1Ki_4:9). 2. An unknown locality in Zebulun (Jdg_12:12).

Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


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 (Jdg_12:8-15).

Elon
a name occurring in two forms in the Hebrews (but both having the primitive sense of oak [q.v.]), as that of a place, and also of three men.
1. (Hebrews Eylon', אֵילון; Sept. Ε᾿λών.) A city of Dan, mentioned between Jethlah and Timnath (Jos_19:43); probably the same elsewhere (1Ki_4:9) more fully called ELON-BETH-HANAN SEE ELON-BETH-HANAN (q.v.).
2. (Hebrews Eylon', אֵילןֹand אֵילוֹן; Sept. ῾Ελών and Αἰλὸμ v.r. Ε᾿λώμ.) A Hittite, father of Bashemath (Gen_26:34) or Adah (Gen_36:3), the first wife of Esau (q.v.). B.C. ante 1963.
3. (Hebrews Elon', אֵלוֹן; Sept. Α᾿λλών and Α᾿λλῶν v.r. Α᾿ορών.) The second of the three sons of Zebulon (Gen_46:14), and father of the family of the Elonites (Num_26:26). B.C. 1856.
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 (Jdg_12:11-12), B.C. 1243-34; which are simply noted as a period of tranquility (comp. Josephus, Ant. 5:7, 14). SEE JUDGES.
