[some Elte'kon] (Hebrews Eltekon' אֶלְתֶּקן , God is its Foundation; Sept. Ε᾿λθεκούν v.r. Ε᾿λθεκεν and Θέκουμ, Vulg. Eltecon), a city of Judah, in the mountain-district, mentioned last in order after Maarath and Beth- Anoth ( Joshua 15:59), being in the group north of Hebron (Keil, Comment. in loc.). (See Judah). It is perhaps identical in site with the present Deit Sahur El-Atikah, a little S.E. of Jerusalem. (See Eltekeh). It is perhaps the Altaqu mentioned in the Assyrian inscriptions. (See Hezekiah).
