BETH-DAGON (‘house of Dagon’). 1 . A city of Judah ( Joshua 15:41 ), somewhere in the Shephelah. The name is preserved in the modern Beit Dejan , some 4 miles S.E. of Jaffa. This, however, is quite a modern village. Near it is a Roman site, named Khurbet Dajun . The Biblical Beth-dagon is still to seek. 2 . A border city in the tribe of Asher ( Joshua 19:27 ), not yet discovered.

R. A. S. Macalister.
