Allammelech (אַלַּמֶּלֶךְ) is a place name meaning "oak of the king" from allon (oak) and melek (king). It appears once in Joshua 19:26 as a town in Asher's territory, near Mount Carmel.
The oak was significant in ancient Israel — a place of shelter, covenant, and divine encounter. Abraham received divine visitors at the oaks of Mamre (Genesis 18:1); Jacob buried foreign gods under the oak at Shechem (Genesis 35:4). A place named "the king's oak" evokes royal authority and shelter. Theologically, Scripture culminates in a restored garden-city (Revelation 22) where the tree of life — the ultimate King's tree — provides healing for the nations. The oak of the earthly king points to the tree of the eternal King.
