Abel-meholah
    meadow of dancing, or the dancing-meadow, the birth-place and
    residence of the prophet Elisha, not far from Beth-shean (1
    Kings 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 (1 Kings
    19:16). It is now called 'Ain Helweh.
