Ijon was a city in the tribe of Naphtali in Israel's far north, captured by the Aramean king Ben-hadad at Asa's request (1 Kings 15:20; 2 Chronicles 16:4) and later by Assyria's Tiglath-pileser III during Pekah's reign (2 Kings 15:29). Tiglath-pileser's own summary inscriptions list the conquest of this same cluster of Galilean towns, an independent confirmation of the biblical account. It is usually identified with the site of Tell Dibbin in the Marj Ayyun valley.
