(Hebrews with the article hak-Kesulloth´, הִכְּסֻלּוֹת, the hopes [or, according to some, the loins, from its position on the "flank" or slope of the mountain; comp. Chesil, Chesalon, etc.]; Sept. Χασελώθ v. r. Χασαλώθ ), a city of the tribe of Issachar, mentioned between Jezreel and Shunem, apparently near the border (Joshua 19:18). It is probably the same with CHISLOTH-TABOR (See CHISLOTH-TABOR) (q.v.) of Joshua 19:12, and the simple TABOR of 1 Chronicles 6:77; the modern Iksal (Robinson's Researches, 3:182; comp. Schwarz, Palest. p. 166). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Ἀχελέθωθ, Accheseluth; Χασελοῦς , Chaselus) describe it as still extant under the same name (Χεαλοῦς, Chasalus).
