Allammelech is mentioned in Joshua 19:26 as part of the description of Asher's inheritance in the Promised Land. The passage belongs to the detailed allocation of Canaan among the tribes of Israel following the major campaigns described earlier in Joshua.
Although no individual biblical event is associated with Allammelech, its inclusion contributes to the geographical picture of Asher's territory and preserves the name of a settlement known to the ancient writer and audience.
