(double resting-place ), one of the cities allotted to the tribe of Issachar. ( Joshua 13:18 ) It is mentioned on two occasions -- ( 1 Samuel 23:4 ; 2 Kings 4:8 ) It was besides the native place of Abishag. ( 1 Kings 1:3 ) It is mentioned by Eusebius as five miles south of Mount Tabor, and then known us Sulem. This agrees with the position of the present Solam , a village three miles north of Jezreel and five from Gilboa.
