 Since publication of the King James Bible of 1611, the name Helon as it appears in historical and contemporary bibles, concordances and biblical commentaries has been perpetually corrupted and rendered as Elon (phonetically spelt "ay-lone"').Elon (sometimes "Elom", as referenced in the Gutenberg Bible, or "Helom") was the name of the Hittite father of Basemath (who was also called Adah), the second wife of Esau ben Isaac.Dr James Strong (1890) who based his Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible on the King James (KJV) rendering, defined Elon (transliterated as ay-lone', ay-lone', ay-lone', or אֵילוֹן in Hebrew) as an "oak-grove, terebinth," or "mighty" - derived from the Hebrew 'ayil, or איל; "strength, an oak, strong tree," or "anything strong" - meanings which are inconsistent with the characteristic traits of the seafaring occupation of the Tribe of Zebulon which are indicative of water.
