Eltekon standard

Where is Eltekon in the Bible?

Eltekon was a city located in the hill country of Judah, situated north of Hebron in the region of ancient Israel. The city appears in the book of Joshua as part of the list of towns allotted to the tribe of Judah during the division of the promised land. Though Eltekon is mentioned as a legitimate settlement in Judah's inheritance, its exact modern location remains unknown to scholars. The reference to Eltekon demonstrates how the biblical text preserves records of Judah's territorial boundaries and the distribution of cities among the Israelite tribes following their conquest of Canaan.
