Belmen

Belmen

( Βελμέν v. r. Βελμαίν and Βελμαίμ ; Vulg. omits), a place named among the towns of Samaria as lying between Bethhoron and Jericho ( Judith 4:4). The Hebrew name would seem to have been Abel-Maim, but the only place of that name in the O.T. was far to the north of the locality here alluded to. (See Abel-Maim). The Syriac version has Abel-Mehoclah, which is more consistent with the context. (See Abel-Meholah); Belmaim
