Dilean standard

Where is Dilean in the Bible?

Dilean was a city located in the lowlands of Judah, as listed in Joshua 15:38 among the towns allotted to the tribe of Judah during the division of the Promised Land. The city was situated in the same general region as other important Judahite settlements like Lachish and Eglon, placing it in the southwestern part of Judah's territory. Although Dilean is mentioned in the biblical record as one of the towns belonging to Judah, its exact location has not been identified by modern scholars and archaeologists. The mention of Dilean in Joshua reflects the detailed accounting of territorial divisions that established Israel's inheritance under Joshua's leadership.
