Aphik
   (Judg. 1:31); Aphek (Josh. 13:4; 19:30), stronghold. (1.) A city
   of the tribe of Asher. It was the scene of the licentious
   worship of the Syrian Aphrodite. The ruins of the temple,
   "magnificent ruins" in a "spot of strange wildness and beauty",
   are still seen at Afka, on the north-west slopes of Lebanon,
   near the source of the river Adonis (now Nahr Ibrahim), 12 miles
   east of Gebal.
   
     (2.) A city of the tribe of Issachar, near to Jezreel (1 Sam.
   4:1; 29:1; comp. 28:4).
   
     (3.) A town on the road from Damascus to Palestine, in the
   level plain east of Jordan, near which Benhadad was defeated by
   the Israelites (1 Kings 20:26, 30; 2 Kings 13:17). It has been
   identified with the modern Fik, 6 miles east of the Sea of
   Galilee, opposite Tiberias.
