ALEMA
City in Gilead from which Judas Maccabeus liberated Jews who had been surrounded by hostile Gentiles (1 Macc 5:24-35). Most authorities place it some 25 to 35 miles (40 to 55 kilometers) east of the Sea of Galilee, perhaps at modern Alma in Gilead. Helam, scene of a decisive victory by David, might be the same site (2 Sm 10:16-17).
