| <p> (Hebrew Achlab', '''''אְְחלָב''''' '', Fatness,'' i e. ''Fertile;'' Sept. '''''Ἀχλάβ''''' v. r. '''''Δαλάφ''''' ), a town of Asher, apparently near [[Zidon]] and Achzib, the native inhabitants of which the [[Israelites]] were unable to expel ( Judges 1:31). Its lying thus within the unconquered Phoenician border may be the reason of its omission in the list of the [[Asherite]] cities ( Joshua 19:24-31). It is supposed (see Schwarz, ''Palest.'' p. 198) that Achlab reappears in later history as Gush-Chalab ( '''''גּוּשׁ''''' '''''חָלבְ''''' ) or ''Giscala'' (Reland, ''Palest.'' p. 813, 817), a place lately identified by Robinson under the abbreviated name of el-Jish, near Safed, in the hilly country to the northwest of the sea of [[Galilee]] (Researches, new ed. 2:446; 3, 73). This place was in rabbinical times famous for its oil, and the old olive-trees still remain in the neighborhood (Reland and Robinson, ib.). From it came the famous John, son of Levi, the leader in the siege of [[Jerusalem]] (Joseph. Life, 10; War, 2, 21, 1), and it had a legendary celebrity as the birth-place of the parents of no less a person than the [[Apostle]] Paul (Jerome, Comment. ad Ep. ad Philem.). But this cannot be the Ahlab of Asher. (See [[Gischala]]). </p>
