1. The tenth judge of Israel: he succeeded Elon, and ruled eight years (Judg. 12:13, 15).
2. Son of Shashak. (1 Chron. 8:23).
3. Son of Jehiel, of Gibeon (1 Chron. 8:30; 1 Chron. 9:35-36).
4. Son of Micha (2 Chron. 34:20): the same as ACHBOR.
5. City in the tribe of Asher, one of the four given to the Gershonites (Josh. 21:30; 1 Chron. 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 manuscripts instead of Hebron, though most of the ancient versions favor 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.
