Allon - oak. (1.) The expression in the Authorized Version[?] of Josh. 19:33, "from Allon to Zaanannim," is more correctly rendered in the Revised Version[?], "from the oak in Zaanannim." The word denotes some remarkable tree which stood near Zaanannim, and which served as a landmark.

(2.) The son of Jedaiah, of the family of the Simeonites, who expelled the Hamites from the valley of Gedor[?] (1 Chr. 4:37).
