al'-on ('allon, "oak"):

(1) A town in the tribe of Naphtali in northern Palestine (Jos 19:33), according to the King James Version, which follows some Hebrew texts. It is better however to read with the Revised Version (British and American), "oak" ('elon), rather than as proper noun.

(3) the Revised Version (British and American) for Allom of the King James Version in 1 Esdras 5:34 (which see).
