Helam . The Aramæans from beyond the river, whom Hadarezer summoned to his aid, came to Helam ( 2 Samuel 10:16 ) and were there met and defeated by David ( 2 Samuel 10:17 f.).

Upon the ground of the Lxx [Note: Septuagint.] some introduce Helam also in Ezekiel 47:16 . In this case it must have lain on the border between Damascus and Hamath.
