dan-jā´an (דּן יען, dān ya‛an; B, Δὰν Εἰδὰν καὶ Οὐδάν, Dán Eidán kaı́ Oudán): A place visited by Joab and his officers when taking the census (). It is mentioned between Gilead and Sidon. Some would identify it with Khān Dāniān, a ruined site North of Achzib. The text is probably corrupt. Klostermann would read “toward Dan and Ijon” (compare ).
