Beth-maacah; place name, 'house/place of Maacah'
A city in northern Israel, usually appearing in compound form as 'Abel of Beth-maacah.' The name indicates association with Maacah, possibly the small Aramean kingdom east of the Jordan, or a local clan/region. The site played a role in narratives of pursuit and invasion in the northern territories.

1. sense 1 — The city appears most commonly as 'Abel Beth-maacah' (1 Kings 15:20; 2 Kings 15:29), but the shorter form 'Beth-maacah' occurs when Joab pursued Sheba there (2 Samuel 20:14-15). The name suggests connection to Maacah—either the Aramean kingdom (2 Samuel 10:6-8) or a regional designation. Located in Israel's far north, it faced Syrian invasions and Assyrian conquest. The account of the wise woman who saved the city (2 Samuel 20) reveals its significance as a 'mother city in Israel.' The variants with and without 'Abel' represent the same location, with Abel (meadow) perhaps describing its setting near water sources. The connection to Maacah (whether kingdom, clan, or region) remains uncertain, but the dual-component name indicates a settlement in or associated with Maacah territory. 2×
