Carmel (kär'mel), fruitful place or park. 1. A long mountain which forms a striking feature of Palestine. It is a noble ridge, the only headland of lower and central Palestine, jutting out with a bold bluff or promontory, nearly 600 feet high, almost into the Mediterranean. It extends southeast for a little more than twelve miles, where it terminates suddenly in a bluff somewhat corresponding to its western end. That which has made Carmel most familiar to us is its intimate connection with the history of the two great prophets of Israel—Elijah and Elisha. 2 Kings 2:25; 2 Kings 4:25; 1 Kings 18:20-42. It is now commonly called Mar Elyas; Kûrmel being occasionally, but only seldom, heard. 2. A town in the mountainous country of Judah, Joshua 15:55, familiar to us as the residence of Nabal. 1 Samuel 25:2-5; 1 Samuel 25:7; 1 Samuel 25:40.
