| A'phek. (strength). The name of several places in Palestine. A city, apparently in the extreme north of Asher, Jos 19:30, from which the Canaanites were not ejected, Judges 1:31, though here it is Aphik. This is probably the same place as Aphek, Joshua 13:4, on the extreme north "border of the Amorites," identified with the Aphaca of classical times, the modern Afka . Smith's Bible Dictionary or |
