   Abel-beth-maachah
      meadow of the house of Maachah, a city in the north of
      Palestine, in the neighbourhood of Dan and Ijon, in the tribe of
      Naphtali. It was a place of considerable strength and
      importance. It is called a "mother in Israel", i.e., a
      metropolis (2 Sam. 20:19). It was besieged by Joab (2 Sam.
      20:14), by Benhadad (1 Kings 15:20), and by Tiglath-pileser (2
      Kings 15:29) about B.C. 734. It is elsewhere called Abel-maim,
      meadow of the waters, (2 Chr. 16:4). Its site is occupied by the
      modern Abil or Abil-el-kamh, on a rising ground to the east of
      the brook Derdarah, which flows through the plain of Huleh into
      the Jordan, about 6 miles to the west-north-west of Dan.
