AHLAB.—A city of Asher (Jdg_1:31). The site has been Identified with the later Gush Halab or Giscala, now el-Jîsh in Upper Galilee; but this is, of course, uncertain.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


A city of Asher, whence the Canaanites were not driven out (Jdg_1:31). More recently Gush Chaleb, or Giscala, whence came John, son of Levi, leader in the siege of Jerusalem; said to be the birthplace of Paul's parents. Now Eljish, near Safed, in the hills N.W. of the lake of Tiberias.

By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


a?lab (אחלב, 'aḥlābh, ?fat or fruitful?): A town of Asher. It is clear, however, that the Israelites failed to drive away the original inhabitants (Jdg_1:31). Some have identified Ahlab with Gush Halab or Geschila, Northwest of the Sea of Galilee.

Ahlab
(Hebrew Achlab', אְְחלָב, fatness, i e. fertile; Sept. Α᾿χλάβ v. r. Δαλάφ), a town of Asher, apparently near Zidon and Achzib, the native inhabitants of which the Israelites were unable to expel (Jdg_1:31). Its lying thus within the unconquered Phoenician border may be the reason of its omission in the list of the Asherite cities (Jos_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.
