Hammon

From BibleEncyclopedia.Net

ham´on (חמּון, ḥammōn, “glowing,” "warm springs"):

(1) A town in the tribe of Asher, near Zidon (Joshua 19:28), identified with 'Ain Hamul i.e. a place on the seaward frontier of Asher, named with Rehob and Kanah (Joshua 19:28), to be sought, therefore, not far from Tyre. The most probable identification so far suggested is with Umm el‛Amūd, “mother of the column” (or ‛Awāmīd, “columns”), at the mouth of Wādy Ḥāmūl, on the shore, about 10 miles South of Tyre. An inscription found by Renan shows that the place was associated with the worship of Ba‛al Ḥammān (CIS, I, 8).

(2) A Levitical city of Naphtali i.e. a city in Naphtali, given to the Gershonite Levites (1 Chronicles 6:76). It is identical with Hammath (Joshua 19:35), and probably also with Hammoth-Dor (Joshua 21:32).
