Ekron (ĕk`rŏn), important Philistine city, SE of Jaffa, near the sea and bordering Judah. According to accounts in the Bible, Ekron was in the hands of the Philistines when it was the Ark of the Covenant's last resting place before its restoration to Israel. It also appears as Accaron.

Ekron

Canaanite and Philistine city in ancient Palestine. It was one of the five cities of the Philistine Pentapolis and was located in what is now central Israel. Though allocated to Judah after the Israelite conquest, it was a Philistine stronghold in the time of King David; it was later associated with the worship of the deity Baalzebub. Taken by Egypt (c. 918 BC), it paid tribute to Assyria in the 7th century BC. The city was known as Akkaron from Hellenistic times.
