ISBE 1915
From the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915). Where it reports or adopts critical theories, those are the views of its writers or the scholars they cite; Gospel Companion holds the historic Christian view of Scripture.
el'-a-sa, ele-a'sa (Alasa; the King James Version Eleasa):
The place where Judas pitched his camp before the battle in which he was overwhelmed and slain (APC 1Macc 9:5).
It probably corresponds to the modern Khirbet il`asa, between the two Beth-horons.
