(Βελμέν v. r. Βελμαίν and Βελμαίμ; Vulg. omits), a place named among the towns of Samaria as lying between Bethhoron and Jericho (Judith 4:4). The Hebrew name would seem to have been Abel-maim, but the only place of that name in the O.T. was far to the north of the locality here alluded to. (See ABEL-MAIM). The Syriac version has Abel-mehoclah, which is more consistent with the context. (See ABEL-MEHOLAH); BELMAIM.
