Lassharon

Places · Updated 2026-05-08

Lassharon is a Canaanite royal city listed among the kings defeated by Joshua during the conquest of Canaan. Joshua 12:18 records "the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lassharon, one" in the tally of thirty-one defeated kings. UPDV uses this spelling throughout.

The site's precise location is uncertain. It appears in the list alongside Aphek, in a section covering cities of the coastal lowlands and the Jezreel region (Jos 12:17–24). No other details about Lassharon are given in the UPDV text.
