Elkosh
Smith’s Bible Dictionary (1863)
(God my bow), the birthplace of the prophet Nahum, hence called “the Elkoshite.” (Nahum 1:1) This place is located at the modern Alkush, a village on the east bank of the Tigris, about two miles north of Mosul. Some think a small village in Galilee is intended.
Easton’s Bible Dictionary (1897)
God my bow, the birth-place of Nahum the prophet (Nah. 1:1). It was probably situated in Galilee, but nothing definite is known of it.
