DAN-JAAN dăn jā’ ən (דָּ֣נָה יַּ֔עַן). The KJV tr. of a locality somewhere between Gilead and Sidon, as based on the fact that David’s census takers, setting out from Aroer near the river Arnon went to Gilead, coming to this place and to Sidon’s vicinity (2 Sam 24:6). It could be the well-known Dan of Scripture (also connected with Sidon, Judg 18:28f.), but perhaps a town in Dan’s environs. Because one LXX reading of 1 Kings 15:29 and 2 Chronicles 16:4 mentions coming to Dan, and going round to Sidon, some suggest: “To Dan and Ijon (Jaan),” as the true sense. Jaan as a proper name is a possibility. RSV has “Dan.”
