V. SHARON, or Lasharon, a City whose King was taken and slain by Joshua, Acts ix. 35.Josh. xii. 18. St. Luke, in the Acts, seems to take notice of a City by the Name of 1 Chron. xxvii. 29.Sharon or Saron; and in the Chronicles we find one call’d Shitrai the Shoronite: But these Passages may well enough be suppos’d to stand for a Country or Canton, and not a City by the Name of Sharon.
