Helam:
place of abundance, a place on the east of Jordan and west of the Euphrates where David gained a great victory over the Syrian army (2Sa 10:16), which was under the command of Shobach. Some would identify it with Alamatta, near Nicephorium.
Helam:
their army; their trouble
Helam:
he'-lam (chelam, 2Sa 10:16 f; in 16:17 with the he of locale; Septuagint Hailam): A place near which David is said to have defeated the Aramean world under Hadarezer (2Sa 10:16 ). Its site is unknown. Cornill and others introduce it into the text of Eze 47:16 from the Septuagint Heliam). This would place it between the territories of Damascus and Hamath, which is not unreasonable. Some scholars identify it with Aleppo, which seems too far north.
Helam:
(stronghold) a place east of the Jordan but west of the Euphrates at which the Syrians were collected by Hadarezer, and where David met and defeated them (2 Samuel 10:16-17).
