Hammon
Hammon
(Heb. Chammon’, , warm; Sept. and ), the name of two places.
1. A town in the tribe of Asher, mentioned between Rehob and Kanah (Jos 19:28). Dr. Robinson quotes the suggestion of Schultz as possible, that it may be the ruined town Hamul, at the head of a wady of the same name which comes down to the Mediterranean just north of En- Nakurah, somewhat south of Tyre (new ed. of Researches, 3, 66). Schwarz thinks it is identical with a village Hamani, situated, according to him, two miles south by east of Tyre (Palest. p. 192); probably the place marked on Zimmerman’s and Van de Velde’s Maps as Hunnaweh. The scriptural text, however, would seem to indicate a position on the northern boundary, about midway between Naphtali (at Rehob) and Sidon. Hence Knobel (Erklar. ad loc.) connects it with the village Hammana, on a wady of the same name east of Beirut, where there is now a Maronite monastery (Seetzeln, 1, 260); but this, again, is too far north (Keil, in Keil and Delitzsch, ad loc.). Van de Velde (Memoir and Map) adopts the first of the above sites, which, although neither the name nor the situation exactly agrees, is perhaps the best hitherto suggested.
2. A Levitical city of Naphtali, assigned, with its suburbs, to the descendants of Gershom (1Ch 6:76). Schwarz (Palest. p. 183) not improbably conjectures that it is the same with HAMMATH (Jos 19:25). SEE HAMBIOTH-DOR (Jos 21:32).

Hammon (2)
(Jos 19:28). Tristram thinks (Bible Places, page 293) that this is one of the mounds “just north of Alma, SEE UMMAH, bearing the name of Ilamnzuz;” but no such name appears on the Ordnance Map, nor in the accompanying Memnoirs. The Hamul which has been thought to be the best modern representative of Hammon is laid down on the Map at one and a half miles north-east of Nakmah, as Ain-Hdmul; which is described in the Memoirs (1:157) as “a large perennial spring of good water, irrigating gardens and turning a mill near its source; a plentiful supply.” No ancient ruins are noted in the immediate vicinity. Trelawney Saunders locates it (Map of the O.T.) at Khurbet el-Hima, ten miles south-east of Tyre, which consists simply of “large heaps of stones” (Memoirs, 1:176) without any special marks of antiquity.

Hammon
hamon (, hammon, glowing):
(1) A place on the seaward frontier of Asher, named with Rehob and Kanah (Jos 19:28), to be sought, therefore, not far from Tyre. The most probable identification so far suggested is with Umm elAmud, mother of the column (or Awamd, columns), at the mouth of Wady Hamul, on the shore, about 10 miles South of Tyre. An inscription found by Renan shows that the place was associated with the worship of Baal Hamman (CIS, I, 8).
(2) A city in Naphtali, given to the Gershonite Levites (1Ch 6:76). It is identical with Hammath (Jos 19:35), and probably also with Hammoth-dor (Jos 21:32).

Hammon
[Ham’mon]
1. City of Asher. Jos 19:28. Identified by some with Ain Hamul, 33 7′ N, 35 10′ E.
2. City in Naphtali allotted to the Levites. 1Ch 6:76. By comparing this list of Levitical cities with the one in Joshua 21, Hammon appears to be the same as HAMMOTH-DOR (Jos 21:32); and this, by the similarity of the name, appears to be the same as HAMMATH in Jos 19:35.
