Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Achlab, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location in the Old Testament without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: The term "Achlab" is used in the context of a geographical location within the territory allotted to the tribe of Asher. It is mentioned in the context of the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land by the Israelites.

Context: Achlab is identified as a town within the inheritance of the tribe of Asher, as recorded in the Old Testament. The town is mentioned in the context of the boundaries of Asher's territory. Although the specific details about Achlab are sparse, it is listed among the towns that the tribe of Asher failed to fully conquer and possess, as noted in the Book of Judges. This reflects the broader narrative of the Israelites' incomplete conquest of Canaan, where certain Canaanite inhabitants remained in the land. The historical and archaeological identification of Achlab remains uncertain, and it is not prominently featured in biblical narratives beyond its initial mention in the territorial allotments.
