Yithlah appears once in the territorial allotment lists of Joshua 19:42 as a city assigned to the tribe of Dan. The ancient Greek translations (Septuagint) render it variously as Silatha or Ithla, suggesting some uncertainty about the exact pronunciation or identification of this location. Like many settlement names in the boundary lists, its precise location remains unidentified by modern archaeology, though it belonged to Dan's southern inheritance near the border with Judah.
