Abel-Mehola
Beskrywing
Abel-mehola [= weiveld van dans, 1Kon 4:12 ; 19:16] aan die regteroewer van die Jordaan na die noorde naby die huidige Scythopolis, vermoedelik die geboorteplek van Elisa. Volgens [Rig 7:22 ] het Gideon die vlugtende vyande na hierdie plek agternagesit. Adriel, die man van Merab, Saul se dogter, het ook hiervandaan gekom [1Sam 18:19 ].

Abel-meholah
meadow of dancing, or the dancing-meadow, the birth-place and residence of the prophet Elisha, not far from Beth-shean (1Kings 4:12), in the tribe of Issachar, near where the Wady el-Maleh emerges into the valley of the Jordan, "the rich meadow-land which extends about 4 miles south of Beth-shean; moist and luxuriant." Here Elisha was found at his plough by Elijah on his return up the Jordan valley from Horeb (1Kings 19:16). It is now called 'Ain Helweh.
