ABARON is the Sirname of Eleazar, the fourth Son of Judas Maccabæus. Abaron in Hebrew signifies Anger, passionate, or passing away. Josephus calls him Auran or Avran, and the first Book of Maccabees Savaran, 1 Macc. vi. 43. He got a great deal of Honour by his Death, being crush’d in pieces under an Elephant, which he slew by piercing him with his Sword, as we shall shew under Eleazar. See 1 Macc. vi. 43. Joseph. Antiq. l. 12. c. 14.
