Subjects in this Topic:
(Hebrews with the article hak-Kesulloth´, äִëְּñֻìּåֹú , the hopes [or, according to some, the loins, from its position on the "flank" or slope of the mountain; comp. Chesil, Chesalon, etc.]; Sept. ×áóåëώè v. r. ×áóáëώè ), a city of the tribe of Issachar, mentioned between Jezreel and Shunem, apparently near the border (Jos_19:18). It is probably the same with CHISLOTH-TABOR SEE CHISLOTH-TABOR (q.v.) of Jos_19:12, and the simple TABOR of 1Ch_6:77; the modern Iksal (Robinson's Researches, 3:182; comp. Schwarz, Palest. p. 166). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Á᾿÷åëÝèùè , Accheseluth; ×áóåëïῦò , Chaselus) describe it as still extant under the same name ( ×åáëïῦò , Chasalus).
