Subjects in this Topic:
IJON.—A town in the north part of the mountains of Naphtali, noticed in 1Ki_15:20 (= 2Ch_16:4) as taken by Benhadad. It was also captured and depopulated by Tiglath-pileser (2Ki_15:29). The name survives in Merj ‘Ayûn, a plateau N. W. of Dan. The most important site in this plateau is Tell Dibbîn, which may be the site of Ijon.
