About Abel
A strong city on the border of upper Galilee in northern Israel.
The leader of King David's army, Joab, chased a man named Sheba to Abel. Sheba was fighting against David. A wise woman from Abel talked with Joab. After their talk, the people of Abel killed Sheba and threw his head over the city wall. Then Joab stopped attacking the city (2 Samuel 20:13–22).
