Definitely Ekron
Ekron was the northernmost of the five Philistine city-states, an economic and political alliance referred to as the Philistine pentapolis. The other pentapolis city-states: Ashdod, Ashkelon, Gaza, and Gath.

I've now checked the book of Joshua, and shaneystar (not surprisingly) is absolutely correct.
