יהושע, פרק י״ט, פסוק מ״ג

As the boundaries of the tribe's inheritance take shape, the ongoing mapping of settlements includes the locations of Elon, Timnath, and Ekron. A careful geographical distinction must be made regarding Ekron, as the name is shared by two completely different cities. The specific settlement located within this tribal territory is entirely separate from the city of Ekron situated along the border of the tribe of Judah [מצודת דוד].
