Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew roots: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and תָּקַן (takan, meaning "to be firm" or "to be established").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Eltekon, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: Eltekon is a proper noun used as the name of a town in the territory of Judah.

Context: Eltekon is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the towns in the hill country of Judah. It is listed among the cities given to the tribe of Judah in the division of the Promised Land. The specific reference to Eltekon can be found in the book of Joshua:

Joshua 15:59: "Maarath, Beth-anoth, and Eltekon—six cities, along with their villages."

The town of Eltekon is part of a list of cities that were allocated to the tribe of Judah. The exact location of Eltekon is not definitively known today, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible. Its inclusion in the list of cities suggests it was a recognized settlement during the time of the conquest and settlement of Canaan. The name itself reflects a theological assertion of God's firmness or establishment, which may have been significant to the inhabitants or founders of the town.
