Subjects in this Topic:

ELTEKE(H).—A town in Dan associated with Ekron and Gibbethon (Jos_19:44; Jos_21:23), probably the Altaqû mentioned by Sennacherib as the locality of his defeat of the Philistines and Egyptians in the time of Hezekiah just before his capture of Ekron. It was a Levitical city. Its modern site is uncertain.
