Town of the Moabite plateau, conquered by Gad and Reuben and rebuilt by the latter (Num. xxx 2:3,37). It is mentioned, together with the town of Heshbon, in the prophecies concerning Moab (Isaiah 16:9). Elealah was still known in Roman times, and is to-day identified with the mound of débris called "Al-'Al" about a mile north of Heshbon.
