“Hidden or concealed”
☩Location and Identity
Almon was a priestly city in the tribe of Benjamin, listed as the last of the four sacerdotal cities in that tribe. The same city is called Alemeth in the parallel passage in Chronicles. It was omitted from the general list of Benjamite cities, perhaps because of its primarily religious function. The site has been identified with modern Almit, about a mile northeast of Anata (ancient Anathoth).
