Elon standard

Where is Elon in the Bible?

Elon was a city in ancient Israel allotted to the tribe of Dan during Joshua's division of the Promised Land. Located in the region northwest of Jerusalem, near modern Beit Anan (approximately 4 miles northwest of Neby Samwil), Elon served as one of the towns comprising Solomon's fourth commissariat district, alongside Shaalbim and Bethshemesh. The exact location of Elon remains uncertain among scholars, though it is mentioned in Joshua as part of Dan's territorial inheritance. This city represents one of the many strategic settlements established during Israel's settlement period in Canaan.
