City of Aphek, north of Asher

(strength), the name of several places in Palestine.

A city, apparently in the extreme north of Asher, (Joshua 19:30) from which the Canaanites were not ejected, (Judges 1:31) though here it is Aphik. This is probably the same place as APHEK, (Joshua 13:4) on the extreme north "border of the Amorites," identified with the Aphaca of classical times, the modern Afka.
