| <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>

Lieut. Conder suggests (Tent Work in Palest. 2:336; see Quar. Statement of "Palest. Explor. Fund," January 1881, page 51) that this is the present Beit Likia, which is laid down on the Ordinance Mapone and three quarter miles south-west of Beit-ur elTahta (Lower Bethhoron), and described in the Memoirs to the Survey (3:16) as "a small village on a main road at the foot of the hills, supplied by cisterns; with ancient foundations among the houses;" and in this identification Tristram concurs (Bible Places, page 51).
