Subjects in this Topic:
(Heb. Beyth Maakah' [or äִîִּòֲëָä ] áֵּéú îִòֲëָä , house of [the] Maachah; always with the prefix Abel or Abelah; Sept. ÂáéèìÜ÷á , or Âáéèìáá÷Ü v. r. Èáìáá÷Ü , etc.), a place named in 2Sa_20:14-15, and there occurring more as a definition of the position of ABEL than for itself; more fully called ABEL-BETH-MAACHAH SEE ABEL-BETH-MAACHAH
(q.v.) in 2Ki_15:29. In the absence of more information, we can only conclude that it is identical with MAACHAH, or ARAM-MAACHAH, one of the petty Syrian kingdoms in the north of Palestine. SEE ARAM.
