Elon, a Zebulonite

2022-04-12

And after him Elon, a Zebulonite, judged Israel; and he judged Israel ten years. And Elon the Zebulonite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the country of Zebulun. (Judges 12:11-12)

There is not much detail about Elon. We can see, though, that he was in a series of judges where there was no major idolatry taking place. We can infer that Elon maintained good order established by his predecessors Jephthah and Ibzan, and Abdon received a stable judgeship because of him. Staying spiritually consistent is a quality we should seek.
