Hel'bon. (fertile). A place mentioned only in Ezekiel 27:18. Geographers have, hitherto, represented Helbon as identical with the city of Aleppo, called Haleb, by the Arabs; but there are strong reasons against this, and the ancient city must be identified with a village, within a few miles of Damascus, still bearing the ancient name, Helbon, and still celebrated as producing the finest grapes in the country.
