Helbon: Fat; i.e., "fertile",
(Ezekiel 27:18) only, a place whence wine was brought
to the great market of Tyre. It has been usually identified with the
modern Aleppo, called Haleb by the native Arabs, but is more probably
to be found in one of the villages in the Wady Helbon, which is
celebrated for its grapes, on the east slope of Anti-Lebanon, north
of the river Barada (Abana).
