a lion. (1.) A city of the Sidonians, in the extreme north of Palestine (Jg 18:7,14); called also Leshem (Jos 19:47) and Dan (Jg 18:7,29; Jer 8:16).

The restless and warlike tribe of Dan (q.v.), looking out for larger possessions, invaded this country and took Laish with its territory. It is identified with the ruin Tell-el-Kady, "the mound of the judge," to the north of the Waters of Merom (Jos 11:5).
