DIKLAH dĭk’ lə (דִּקְלָֽה; LXX Δεκλα; datepalm). A Sem. tribe descended from Eber through Joktan (Gen 10:27; 1 Chron 1:21). Traditionally Joktan is the ancestor of the S Arabians, but the specific place names of Genesis 10:30 are difficult to identify. See J. Simons, The Geographical and Topographical Texts of the Old Testament, 136.
