Dan-jaan (Ijon)
Joab's census party passed through here on the way round the land, somewhere near Dan by the sources of the Jordan. The name may just mean Dan in the forest, and some old translations read it that way, not as a separate place.

Dan-jaan, meaning Dan in the forest, is named in the route of Joab's census-taking journey through the tribal territories east and north of Israel, somewhere near the town of Dan by the sources of the Jordan (2 Sam. 24:6). Some ancient translations read the phrase simply as Dan in the forest rather than treating it as a distinct place name.
