CAPHARSALAMA ( 1Ma 7:31 ). Apparently near Jerusalem. Kefr Silwȃn , the village of Siloam, is possibly intended.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [2]
kaf -ar -sal´a -ma , kaf -ar -salā´ma ( Χαφαρσαλαμά , Chapharsalamá ): The site of an indecisive skirmish between Judas Maccabeus and Nicanor, an officer of the king of Syria and governor of Judea. The situation cannot be precisely fixed but it must have been in the neighborhood of Jerusalem, for Nicanor, after losing 5,000 men, retired with the remainder to "the city of David" (1 Macc 7:26-32). The first part of the word, "Caphar," means village or hamlet; the last part has been identified with Siloam and also with Khirbet Deir Sellām , about 12 1/2 miles West of Jerusalem.

( Χαφαρσαλαμά v. r. Χαφαρσαραμά, appar. for כְּפִרשְׁלָמָא, "village of peace"), a place where Nicanor's troops were cut to pieces by Judas Maccabaeus ( 1 Maccabees 7:31). Josephus, in the parallel account (Ant. 12:10, 4), calls it a village ( κώμη Καφαρσαλαμά ) . Reland suggests (Palest. p. 90) that it may have been the same with the Caphar Gamala (q.v.) where the presbyter Lucian was born, or the Caphar-semelia mentioned in his writings. He also adduces an allusion from the Talmud (Aboda Sara, folio 44, Colossians 4). to a wine-growing village, KepharSalam ( כפר שלם ), doubtless the same. From the fugitives in the above battle having taken refuge in the "city of David," it would appear to have been near Jerusalem; hence it is possible that it was the village near Siloam (q.v.), the Arabic name of which is Kefrselw â n. Ewald places it north of Ramla, on the Samaritan boundary (Gesch. Isr. 4:368, note), but this is quite arbitrary.
