Dan-Jaan
Holman Bible Dictionary
(dan-jay' uhn) Place name of uncertain meaning in 2 Samuel 24:6 . Many Bible students think the scribes have not preserved the correct Hebrew text at this point and read only “Dan” (NRSV) or “Dan and Ijon” (NEB). If the present Hebrew text is correct, the location of the town is not known except that it is apparently in the territory of the tribe of Dan.
