    In 1 Kings 4:12, the term occurs in a statement of territory extending from Beth-shean as far as Abel-meholah; the APB renders the boundary clause with that place name. In Judges 7:22, the fleeing camp goes as far as the lip of Abel-meholah, while in 1 Kings 19:16 the APB renders Elisha's identification with the phrase "from Abel-meholah."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the term as "Abel-meholah" in a boundary statement, a flight route, and Elisha's identification. These renderings confirm the verse contexts rather than isolate a separate English equivalent.
