Old Testament
Allon
A descendant of Simeon mentioned in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles.
Allon is identified in 1 Chronicles 4:37 as a descendant of Simeon, listed among the leaders of his family who expanded their territory during the reign of Hezekiah. The name also appears in Joshua 19:33 as a geographical marker for the border of the tribe of Naphtali. These two distinct references highlight the use of the name for both an individual in a genealogy and a specific location in the land of Israel.
