Chesulloth (Hebrews with the article hak-Kesulloth´, הִכּסֻלּוֹת, 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 (Jos 19:18). It is probably the same with CHISLOTH-TABOR SEE CHISLOTH-TABOR (q.v.) of verse 12, and the simple TABOR of 1Ch 6:77; the modern Iksal (Robinson's Researches, 3:182; comp. Schwarz, Palest. p. 166). Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Α᾿χελέθωθ, Accheseluth; Χασελοῦς, Chaselus) describe it as still extant under the same name (Χεαλοῦς, Chasalus).
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry.
