HAMMON

(Heb. ḥammôn)

1. A coastal city, S of Tyre and N of Acco, included in the territory assigned to the tribe of Asher (Josh. 19:28). It is generally identified with Umm el-ʿAwāmîd (164281) in the Wadi el-Hamûl near the spring of en-Hamûl, on the basis of the similarity of the names and two Phoenician inscriptions from the Hellenistic period.

2. A city in the territory of Naphtali assigned (with its pasture lands) as a levitical city for the descendants of Gershom (1 Chr. 6:76[MT 61]). It is usually associated with Hammoth-dor (Josh. 21:32) and Hammath (19:35) and has been identified with either µammâm Öabarîyeh/µame Öeveriya (201241), S of Tiberias on the western shore of the Sea of Galilee, or Tell Raqqat, N of Tiberias.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
