Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Allammelek in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a New Testament counterpart.

Usage: Allammelek is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. The name itself can be interpreted as "toward the king" or "unto the king," suggesting a location of significance or dedication to a royal figure.

Cultural and Historical Background: Allammelek is one of the towns listed in the territory of the tribe of Asher, as described in the Book of Joshua. The allocation of land to the tribes of Israel was a significant event, marking the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the inheritance of the land of Canaan. The specific historical and cultural details of Allammelek are not extensively documented in biblical or extrabiblical sources, but its inclusion in the tribal allotments underscores its role in the settlement patterns of ancient Israel.
