1 . The tenth judge of Israel: he succeeded Elon, and ruled eight years. Judges 12: 13, 15.
2. Son of Shashak. 1 Chr. 8: 23.
3. Son of Jehiel, of Gibeon. 1 Chr. 8: 30; 1 Chr. 9: 35, 36.
4. Son of Micha, 2 Chr. 34: 20: the same as ACHBOR, q.v.
5. City in the tribe of Asher, one of the four given to the Gershonites. Joshua 21: 30; 1 Chr. 6: 74. Probably the same as Hebron in the list of the cities of Asher in Joshua 19: 28. According to Gesenius, Abdon is read here in twenty Hebrew MSS. instead of Hebron, though most of the ancient versions favour Hebron. This is not the well-known Hebron which is in Judah's lot. Abdon is identified with Abdeh, 33 3' N, 35 9' E.
