<p> [some Elte'keh] (Hebrews Eltekeh', אֶלתְּקֵהִ '', God Is Its Fear,'' i.e., object of awe; but ''Elteke', אֶלְתְּקֵא'' in Joshua 21:23; Sept. | <p> [some Elte'keh] (Hebrews Eltekeh', '''''אֶלתְּקֵהִ''''' '', God Is Its Fear,'' i.e., object of awe; but ''Elteke', '''''אֶלְתְּקֵא''''' '' in Joshua 21:23; Sept. '''''Ε᾿Λθεκώ''''' v.r. '''''Ἀλθακά''''' and '''''Ή''''' '''''Ε᾿Λκωθαίυ''''' , Vulg. ''Elthece'' and ''Eltheco),'' a city in the tribe of Dan, apparently near the border, and mentioned between [[Ekron]] and [[Gibbethon]] ( Joshua 19:44) With its "suburbs" it was assigned as a city of refuge and [[Levitical]] city to the [[Kohathites]] ( Joshua 21:23); but it is omitted in the parallel list ( 1 Chronicles 6:1-81). The site is possibly now represented by ''El-Mansurah'' ("the victorious"), "a miserable little village" near a copious spring, in the plain between Ramleh and Akir (Robinson, ''Researches,'' 3:21). Schwarz (Palest. page 141) confounds [[Eltekeh]] with Eltekon, and locates both at a village which he calls "Althini, not far from Beilin (Baalath)." </p> | ||
