Abel-maim (place name: 'meadow of waters')
The Chronicler's name for the city called Abel-beth-maacah in Kings (2 Chronicles 16:4). The name means 'meadow of waters,' emphasizing the abundant water sources in the region. This variant designation refers to the same northern Israelite city that King Asa of Judah (allied with Ben-hadad of Aram) attacked during his conflict with Baasha of Israel. The difference in naming may reflect Chronicler's editorial preference or a local alternative designation.

1. sense 1 — Second Chronicles uses this name where 2 Kings has 'Abel-beth-maacah,' both referring to the same fortified city in northern Israel. The substitution of 'Maim' (waters) for 'Beth-maacah' might highlight the region's water resources—springs, streams, or marshlands—that made it valuable territory. The parallel accounts confirm this is the city attacked when Asa bribed Ben-hadad to break his treaty with Israel. The geographic markers (near Dan, in the northernmost territory) align perfectly across both accounts. 2×
