Seron
(; in Syr. and one Gr. MS. ; Vulg. Seron), a general of Antiochus Epiphanes, in chief command of the Syrian army (1Ma 3:13, ), who was defeated at Beth-horon by Judas Maccabaeus (B.C. 166), as in the day when Joshua pursued the five kings in the going down of Bethhoron (1Ma 3:24; Jos 10:11). According to Josephus, he was the governor of Coele-Syria and fell in the battle (Ant. 12, 7,1), nor is there any reason to suppose that his statements are mere deductions from the language of 1 Macc.
