ELTEKE(H) . A town in Dan associated with Ekron and Gibbethon ( Joshua 19:44; Joshua 21:23 ), probably the Altaqû mentioned by Sennacherib as the locality of his defeat of the Philistines and Egyptians in the time of Hezekiah just before his capture of Ekron. It was a Levitical city. Its modern site is uncertain.

C. H. W. Johns.
