    All attested forms are tagged as proper nouns and occur as the name of a place or land area. In 1 Chronicles 27:29 the APB renders cattle pasturing “in the Sharon”; in Isaiah 65:10 it renders Sharon as becoming “a pasture for flocks.” Isaiah 33:9 and Isaiah 35:2 place it alongside Lebanon, Bashan, and Carmel in descriptions of the land, while Joshua 12:18 renders “the king of Lasharon” and Song of Songs 2:1 renders a “crocus of Sharon.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the name as “Sharon,” but uses “Lasharon” in Isaiah 33:9, Isaiah 35:2, and Joshua 12:18. These are presentations within whole-verse translations rather than definitions.
