IJON.—A town in the north part of the mountains of Naphtali, noticed in 1Ki_15:20 (= 2Ch_16:4) as taken by Benhadad. It was also captured and depopulated by Tiglath-pileser (2Ki_15:29). The name survives in Merj ‘Ayûn, a plateau N. W. of Dan. The most important site in this plateau is Tell Dibbîn, which may be the site of Ijon.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


("ruin".) A store city of Naphtali in N. Palestine. Captured by Benhadad's captains, at Asa's request for help against Baasha, king of Israel (1Ki_15:20; 2Ch_16:4). Taken also by Tiglath Pileser (2Ki_15:29). The lovely little plain N.W. of Dan, at the foot of the hills of Naphtali, Merj Ayun, is probably the site.

ı̄?jon (עיּון, ‛ı̄yōn; Septuagint in Kings has Ἀίν, Aı́n, or Ναίν, Naı́n; in Chronicles Ἰώ, Iō̇; Αἰών, Aiō̇n): A town in the territory of Naphtali, first mentioned in connection with the invasion of Ben-hadad, in the reign of Baasha. It was captured along with Dan and Abel-beth-maacah (1Ki_15:20; 2Ch_16:4). It shared with these cities a similar fate at the hands of Tiglath-pileser in the reign of Pekah (2Ki_15:29). The name survives in that of Merj A‛yūn, ?meadow of springs,? a rich, oval-shaped plain to the Northwest of Tell el Ḳāḍy, where the Liṭāny turns sharply westward to the sea. The ancient city may be represented by Tell Dibbı̄n, an important site to the North of the plain.

Ijon
(iebo. yon', עַיּוֹן, place of ruins; Sept. Α᾿ϊvν, Αίάν, Αιων), a frontier city of the kingdom of Israel, mentioned as being captured, along. with Abel- BethMeholah and other places in Naphtali, first by Benhadad of Syria (1Ki_15:20; 2Ch_16:4), and afterwards by Tiglath- pileser of Assyria (2Ki_15:29). The associated names and circumstances render the supposition of Dr. Robinson (Researches, 3, 346) very probable, that this locality corresponds to a large ruin-covered hill called Tell Debbin (Thomson, Land and Book, 1, 335), in the present Merj Ayun (meadow of fountains), a fine meadow tract between wady et-Teim and the Litany, north of Lake Huleh (comp. Bibliotheca Sacra, 1846, p. 204, 214; new edition of Researches, 3, 375; Schwarz, Palestine, p. 36).
