This Beth-dagon entry refers to the town in Asher near the south-eastern border of the tribe. It is important because it is distinct from the Judahite Beth-dagon of the low country. First appears in Josh 19:27.1
AI summary: Beth-dagon matters here as a northern settlement in Asher's inheritance. The shared name with another town shows how place-language could repeat across different tribal regions.1
A city near the south-east border of Asher (Josh. 19:27). It was a Philistine colony. It is identical with the modern ruined village of Tell D’auk. 3
