Abelbethmaachah

Meadow of the house of Maachah; a town in the tribe of Naphtali, north of lake Merom. It was besieged in the rebellion of Sheba, 2 Samuel 20:13-22; eighty years afterwards it was taken by Ben- hadad, 1 Kings 15:20, and again, after 200 years, by Tiglathpileser, 2 Kings 15:29. It is called Abelmaim in 2Ch 16...4. Compare 1 Kings 15:20. Also simply Abel, 2 Samuel 20:18.

Easton's Bible Dictionary
Meadow of the house of Maachah, a city in the north of Palestine, in the neighbourhood of Dan and Ijon, in the tribe of Naphtali. It was a place of considerable strength and importance. It is called a "mother in Israel", i.e., a metropolis (2 Samuel 20:19). It was besieged by Joab (2 Samuel 20:14), by Benhadad (1 Kings 15:20), and by Tiglath-pileser (2 Kings 15:29) about B.C. 734. It is elsewhere called Abel-maim, meadow of the waters, (2 Chronicles 16:4). Its site is occupied by the modern Abil or Abil-el-kamh, on a rising ground to the east of the brook Derdarah, which flows through the plain of Huleh into the Jordan, about 6 miles to the west-north-west of Dan.
