Diklah appears in the table of nations as a son of Joktan, one of the Arabian clans descended from Shem (Genesis 10:27; 1 Chronicles 1:21). Like most of Joktan's other sons, the name almost certainly designates a tribal territory rather than a single historical individual, and its meaning, palm grove, points to a district of Arabia known for date palm cultivation, though its exact location remains uncertain.
