Abel-keramim, site in Ammon
A place name meaning 'meadow of vineyards,' marking the extent of Jephthah's military campaign against the Ammonites. Judges 11:33 records that Jephthah 'struck them from Aroer to the neighborhood of Minnith, twenty cities, and as far as Abel-keramim, with a great blow.' The name suggests an area known for viticulture, and its mention defines the southern limit of Jephthah's devastating victory that subdued Ammon before Israel.
