Lasharon
"Belonging to Sharon." Joshua beat a king of Lasharon, but most of these verses are about the Sharon plain, the rich coast between Joppa and Mount Carmel, with royal pasture and some of Gad living there. Its beauty became a byword, "the rose of Sharon," and Isaiah pictures it blooming again.

Lasharon, meaning "belonging to Sharon," appears once as the name of a Canaanite town or district whose king Joshua defeated (Joshua 12:18), and most of the other references gathered under the name belong instead to the famous Sharon plain, the fertile coastal region between Joppa and Mount Carmel. Sharon supplied excellent royal pastureland (1 Chronicles 27:29) and part of the tribe of Gad settled there (1 Chronicles 5:16); its beauty became proverbial, celebrated as "the rose of Sharon" (Song of Solomon 2:1) and pictured by Isaiah blossoming in the age of restoration (Isaiah 35:2).
