HAMMON hăm’ ən (חַמֹּ֣ון, glowing). 1. A place S of Tyre on the W border of Asher, mentioned in Joshua 19:28 along with many other cities in the tribe of Asher. The site is unknown, but it is perhaps to be identified with Umm el-’Awamid, near Ras en-Naqurah.

2. A city of Nephtali belonging to the Gershonite Levites (1 Chron 6:76). It is the same as Hammath in Joshua 19:35, and perhaps also Hammoth-dor in Joshua 21:32.
