This is probably the Aphek spoken of in "And it came to pass¹ at the returnª of the year,ª that Benhadadª numberedª °¹ the Syrians,ª and went upª ° to Aphek,ª to fightª against¹ Israel.ª" {1Kg 20:26} + "And he said,ª ° Takeª ° the arrows.ª And he tookª ° [them]. And he saidª ° unto the kingª of Israel,ª Smiteª ° upon the ground.ª And he smoteª ° thrice,ª ª and stayed.ª °" {2Kg 13:18}, as the capital of the kings of Syria; and the same as is mentioned by Sozomen, Eusebius, and Theophanes, as situated near the river Adonis (now Nahr Ibrahim), between Heliopolis and Byblos, and celebrated for the infamous temple of Venus the Aphacite. The village Afka, situated in the bottom of a valley, and hour and three quarters from Akoura, and three hours' distance from Lake Liemoun, is supposed to occupy its site. Burckhardt, however, could not hear of any remains of antiquity in it neighbourhood. "Ummahª also, and Aphek,ª and Rehob:ª twentyª and twoª citiesª with their villages.ª" {Jsh 19:30} + "And the wordª of Samuelª came¹ to all¹ Israel.ª Now Israelª went outª ° againstª ° the Philistinesª to battle,ª and pitchedª ° beside¹ Ebenezer:ª and the Philistinesª pitchedª ° in Aphek.ª" {1Sm 4:1}

"And the Amoritesª forcedª °¹ the childrenª of Danª into the mountain:ª for¹ they would not¹ sufferª ° them to come downª ° to the valley:ª ... And the coastª of the Amoritesª [was] from the going upª ¹ to Akrabbim,² ¹ from the rock,ª ¹ and upward.ª" {Jdg 1:34-36}
