Bible Figure
Elon
male human biblical figure in Judges 12:11, judge of Israel
Elon was a judge from the tribe of Zebulun who judged Israel for ten years.
Biography
Judges 12:11-12 contains the entire biblical notice of Elon. He was a Zebulunite, judged Israel for ten years, died, and was buried at Aijalon in the land of Zebulun. Scripture records no military exploit, family history, or prophetic activity for him.
Biblical Significance
Elon's brief judgeship belongs to the sequence of leaders through whom Israel received periods of governance between major crises. The limited record cautions against adding a biography beyond what Scripture supplies.
