Sharon

also known as: Saron, Lasharon and HaSharon

Hebrew: הַשָּׁרוֹן

This is a level tract extending from the Mediterranean to the hill country to the west of Jerusalem, about 30 miles long and from 8 to 15 miles broad, celebrated for its beauty and fertility (1 Chronicles 27:29; Isaiah 33:9; 35:2; 65:10).

The “rose of Sharon” is celebrated (Song of Songs 2:1).

It is called Lasharon (the article “la” being here a part of the word) in Joshua 12:18.

The Sharon valley is mentioned in an ancient Egyptian stele of Amenhotep II, and as the Sharon field containing both Jaffa and Dor on the Sarcophagus of Eshmunazar II.
