LASSHARON.A town taken by Joshua (Jos_12:18). LXX [Note: Septuagint.] B reads here the king of Aphek in Sharon. The Onomasticon gives the name of Sharon to a second district, viz. that between Mount Tabor and Tiberias. The name Sarôna attaches to an ancient site on the plateau, 61/2 miles S.W. of Tiberias, which may possibly represent Lassharon (Conder).

la-shā?ron, la-shâr?on (לשּׁרון, lashshārōn or la-shārōn, the King James Version Sharon): A royal city of the Canaanites taken by Joshua, named with Aphek (Jos_12:18). Possibly we should here follow the reading of Septuagint (Codex Vaticanus), ?the king of Aphek in Sharon.? Eusebius, Onomasticon (s.v. ?Saron?) mentions a region between Mt. Tabor and the Lake of Tiberias called Sarona. This is probably represented by the ancient site Sarona, on the plateau 6 1/2 miles Southwest 2 of Tiberias. If Massoretic Text is correct, this may be the place intended.
