Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G4565 • Σαρών (Saron), which is used in the New Testament to refer to the same geographical region. In Acts 9:35, the healing of Aeneas by Peter leads to many in Lydda and Sharon turning to the Lord: "All who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord." This highlights the continued significance of the region in the early Christian period.

Usage: The word "Sharon" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a specific geographical region, the Plain of Sharon, which is located along the Mediterranean coast of Israel. It is mentioned in various contexts, often highlighting its natural beauty and fertility.

Context: Sharon is a significant geographical area in biblical times, known for its rich pastures and agricultural abundance. It stretches from the Mediterranean Sea to the foothills of the central mountain range of Israel. The Plain of Sharon is mentioned in several biblical passages, emphasizing its lush vegetation and suitability for grazing and farming. In Isaiah 35:2, the beauty and glory of Sharon are highlighted: "It will bloom abundantly and even rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They will see the glory of the LORD, the splendor of our God." The region is also noted in 1 Chronicles 5:16, where it is described as a place where the descendants of Gad lived: "They lived in Gilead, in Bashan and its towns, and throughout the pasturelands of Sharon." The fertile plains of Sharon made it a desirable location for settlement and agriculture, contributing to its frequent mention in biblical texts.
