יהושע, פרק י״ב, פסוק י״ח

As the Israelites secured the land, they defeated numerous local kings, each ruling over distinct territories. One of these conquered leaders is identified as the king of Lasharon. Although the name closely resembles the well-known Sharon region, this ruler did not control that entire vast coastal area. Rather, the title most likely refers to a single, defined settlement or town that simply went by the name Lasharon [ביאור שטיינזלץ].
