Carmel, fruitful (plentiful) field, (place)
Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(fruitful). (1) The promontory which forms the bay of Acre (1 Kings 18; 2 Kings 2:25; 4:25; Isa. 33:9; 35:2). (2) A city of Judah (1 Sam. 15:12; 25:2-44; 2 Chron. 26:10).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
City on the river Euphrates, about 36° 50' N, 38° 5' E. The Assyrian monuments show that about 1,000 years B.C. it belonged to the Hittites. Apparently it was taken by the Assyrians (Isa. 10:5,9); afterward conquered by Necho king of Egypt, after the battle of Megiddo, in which Josiah was killed (2 Chron. 35:20), where it is CHARCHEMISH. Three years later it was taken by Nebuchadnezzar (Jer. 46:2). Carchemish has often been associated with the classical Circesium, and placed on maps some 200 miles S. E. of the above, which is judged to be an error.
