Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Alema ( 1Ma 5:26 ). A city in Gilead; site unknown.
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [2]
(only in the dat. plur. Ἐν Ἀλέμοις ), one of the fortified cities in Gilead beyond the Jordan, occupied in the time of Judas Maccabeus, to the oppression of the Jews, by the Gentiles, in connection with certain neighboring towns ( 1 Maccabees 5:26). Grimm (Handb. Zu D. Maccabees in loc.) thinks it is probably the BEER-ELIM (See Beer-Elim) (q.v.) of Isaiah 15:8 ((See Beer) simply in Numbers 21:16), an identification favored by the associated names (Bozrah and Carnaim).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [3]
al´ē̇ - ma ( Ἀλέμοις , Alémoı̄s ): A town in Gilead, mentioned once only (1 Macc 5:26), besieged by the nations under Timotheus, together with Bosor and other cities; and probably relieved along with these cities by Judas Maccabeus, although no mention is made of Alema's relief. The name occurs the one time as dative plural.
