Abel.Or rather, probably, Abel of Beth-Maachah, as in the next verse.
It appears, from Joab having marched "through all the tribes of Israel," to have been situated in the northern confines of the land of Israel, and in the half tribe of Manasseh, east of Jordan, as that was the situation of Maachah, to which it belonged.
This agrees with the situation of the Abela which Eusebius and Jerome place between Paneas, or C�area Philippi, and Damascus.
Josephus says it was a fortified city, and a metropolis of the Israelites; and also that it belonged to the ten tribes, having been taken from the king of Damascus.
