Helon

Helon was the father of Eliab, the appointed leader of the tribe of Zebulun during the wilderness period, first mentioned in Numbers 1:9 at the first census of Israel. His son Eliab represented Zebulun in the census, the tribal offerings at the altar's dedication (Numbers 7:24–29), and the ordering of the camp. Helon is preserved solely through his son's official role, his name serving to identify the Zebulunite tribal leader in all the relevant administrative contexts.
