About this place
This Hammon is named only once, in the border of the inheritance of the tribe of Asher (Joshua 19:24–31): “and Ebron, Rehob, Hammon, and Kanah, even to great Sidon” (Joshua 19:28). The most likely site suggested is Umm el-‘Amud, on the coast south of Tyre. It is a different town from the Hammon of Naphtali, a city given to the Levites (1 Chronicles 6:76), which is taken to be Hammath (Joshua 19:35).
