el´tē̇ -kē , (אלתּקה , 'elteḳēh (Joshua 19:44 , אלתּקא , 'elteḳē' (Joshua 21:23 ); Codex Vaticanus Ἀλκαθά , Alkathá ; Codex Alexandrinus, Ἐλκεθώ , Elkethō̇ ): A place in the territory of Dan named between Ekron and Gibbethon (Joshua 19:44 ), and again between Beth-horon and Gibbethon, as given to the Kohathite Levites (Joshua 21:23 ). It is probably identical with the Assyrian Altaḳu , where Sennacherib (Hexagon prism inscrip .) claims to have defeated the allied armies of the Philistines and the Egyptians. It should probably be sought somewhere East of Ekron. Beit Likia , the place marked Eltekeh on the PEF map, seems a position for such an encounter. It is about 2 1/2 miles Southwest of Beth-horon the Upper.
