(2) A boundary place of Naphtali (Josh. 19:33³³And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan: (Joshua 19:33)).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

The word allon is held to signify a strong and hardy tree, especially “the oak,” as the word is translated in several passages.

1. Place in Naphtali (Josh. 19:33³³And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan: (Joshua 19:33)), or perhaps it may read, “from the oak at Zaanannim,” referring to some well-known old tree.

2. Chief of a family descended from Simeon (1 Chron. 4:37³⁷And Ziza the son of Shiphi, the son of Allon, the son of Jedaiah, the son of Shimri, the son of Shemaiah; (1 Chronicles 4:37)).
