Hali
Hali
(Heb. Chali’. , necklace; Sept. v.r. and ). a town on the border of the tribe of Asher, mentioned between Helkath and Beten (Jos 19:25). Schwarz thinks it may be the Chalon (Cyamoion) of Jdt 7:3, opposite Esdraelon, and therefore near the range of Carmel (Palest. p. 191); but the reading of that passage is doubtful (see Arnald, Comment. ad loc.), and such an identification would place Hali far remote from the associated localities, which seem to indicate a position on the eastern boundary, at some distance from its northern extremity. Accordingly Van de Velde suggests (Memoir, p. 318) that perhaps the site of this city may be recognized in that of Al a, a place where the rock- hewn foundations of a large city are seen, on the south-east side of the village of M’alia, rather more than five hours north-east of Akka; the tell of M’alia would seem to have formed the acropolis of the ancient city.

For this locality Lieut. Conder accepts (Tent Work, 2:377) the suggestion of the modern ‘Alia, which is laid down on the Ordnance Map at nine and three quarter miles south-east of Es-Zib (Ecdippa on the coast), and described in the accompanying Memoirs (1:170) as “a small square building of well-dressed stone, without draft, probably of the crusades; a large number of cisterns and traces of ruins.” Among the latter are added, from Guerin, a description of several sepulchral chambers containing sarcophagi. The village of Malia, which lies half a mile north-west, is thought to represent the Meltoth of Josephus (Wars, 3:3, 7), and the Mahalia or Chateau du Roi of the Teutonic knights (ibid. page 149, 155).
