Allon @ oak. (1.) The expression in the Authorized Version of Joshua: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 ( 1Chronicles:4:37).
Allon-bachuth @ oak of weeping, a tree near Bethel, at the spot where Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, was buried Genesis:35:8). Large trees, from their rarity in the plains of Palestine, were frequently designated as landmarks. This particular tree was probably the same as the "palm tree of Deborah" Judges:4:5).
