Allon

Meaning: an oak; strong · Male · 2 cross references

This Allon entry refers to the Simeonite family figure in Chronicles, not to the place-name Allon in Joshua. He belongs to the tribal memory of Simeon and to the aggressive resettlement activity recorded in the south. First appears in Josh 19:33.1

AI summary: This Allon matters because the cross references connect his line with the Simeonite expansion that displaces prior inhabitants in the days reflected by Chronicles. His name helps anchor that movement in real family leadership rather than generic tribal action. Taken together, the material presents this Allon as a Simeonite household figure whose descendants participate in the reshaping of settlement in Judah's southern orbit.1
