ē´lon (אילון, 'ēlōn, a “terebinth”; Αἰλών, Ailō̇n):
An unidentified town in the territory of Dan named between Ithlah and Timnah (Joshua 19:43). It is possibly identical with Elon-Beth-Hanan which, along with Shaalbim and Bethshemesh, formed one of Solomon's commissariat districts (1 Kings 4:9). Conder has suggested Beit' Anān, about 4 miles Northwest of Neby Samwīl: it is quite uncertain.
