There is not much about Elon the Zebulunite in the Bible taking up just a couple, short verses. He judges Israel for 10 years and was buried in Aijalon. The tribe of Zebulun does not come up much in the Bible. There are few notable Zebulunites other than Elon. The notable Zebulunites end with Elon. However, there is a very important prophecy about the land of Zebulun in Isaiah 9.
The passage in Isaiah speaks to a time when the true Messiah will rise out of the lands of Zebulun and Naphtali. That land at 0 A.D. is called Galilee. While the coast of the sea of Galilee is the ancestral home of Naphtali, the town of Nazareth is in the ancestral land of Zebulun. Nazareth is the hometown of Jesus the Christ.
It is interesting that the heir of David would have a hometown outside of the tribe of Judah.  When we read the contribution of the Zebulunites to David, we gain some window into their loyalty to God and the King. The Zebulunites contributed 50,000 warriors to David more than any other singular tribe and an especially large number considering that Zebulun was one of the smaller tribes.
That is about all there is that we can prove about Elon the Zebulunite. He had a quiet judgeship. Sometimes that is the best kind. Growing up, I was instilled with a desire for the big and grandiose life. There is nothing wrong with that life, but there is also something to be said for living quietly and steadfastly before God. My wife has helped reveal the value of the steady life in humility before God.
It is a harder path for many and especially those in my millennial generation which often spend too much time and energy searching for the next “Like” or “thumbs up” or “Cheer.” Now though I see it as a hopeful path. On that path, it is easier to abide in and obey God. After all, Jesus said it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. I would think it equally hard for the famous or grandiose man. The best thing we can learn from Elon the Zebulunite is that you don’t have to be grandiose to be loved by God. God exalts the humble, and sometimes “boring” leads to a fuller life than we ever expected.
