Eltekeh
The 1901 Jewish Encyclopedia
One of the towns allotted to Dan, mentioned twice in Joshua—
(19:44) and 
(21:23). Eltekeh with its suburbs was given as a residence to the Kohathite Levites. This town, called in Assyrian "Al-ta-ḳu-u," was destroyed by Sennacherib on his way to Timnah and Ekron, after his defeat of the Egyptians (see Prism Inscription in Schrader's "K. A. T." 2d ed., pp. 171, 289, 292).
