It is situated to the northwest of Damascus and is associated with the city of Abila, which served as its capital. The region is characterized by its fertile land, benefiting from the proximity to the mountains and the Barada River.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b> <br>Abilene is referenced in the Gospel of Luke, specifically in the context of the political landscape during the time of John the Baptist's ministry. The passage provides a historical setting by listing the rulers of various regions:<br><br>"In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene," (<a href="/luke/3.htm">Luke 3:1</a>).<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b> <br>The mention of Abilene in <a href="/luke/3.htm">Luke 3:1</a> places it within the broader context of the Roman Empire's administrative divisions during the early first century AD. The term "tetrarch" refers to a ruler of a quarter of a region, indicating that Abilene was part of a larger political structure. Lysanias, the tetrarch of Abilene, is a somewhat obscure figure, and there is limited historical information about his reign. However, the mention of his rule helps to date the events described in the Gospel of Luke.<br><br><b>Cultural and Political Significance:</b> <br>Abilene, as part of the Roman Empire, would have been influenced by both Roman and local cultures. The region's governance under a tetrarch suggests a degree of autonomy, although it was ultimately subject to Roman authority. The political arrangement of the time, with various tetrarchs ruling different regions, reflects the complex and often fragmented nature of governance in the Near East under Roman rule.<br><br><b>Archaeological Insights:</b> <br>Archaeological findings in the area believed to be Abilene have provided some insights into the region's historical and cultural context. The city of Abila, identified with modern-day Suq Wadi Barada, contains ruins that suggest a settlement with significant Roman influence, including temples, roads, and other infrastructure typical of Roman provincial towns.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>The reference to Abilene in the Gospel of Luke serves to anchor the narrative of John the Baptist and the beginning of Jesus' ministry within a specific historical framework. By listing the rulers of the time, the Gospel writer emphasizes the historical reality of the events described, providing a backdrop that underscores the intersection of divine action with human history.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>The mention of Abilene in the New Testament, though brief, contributes to the historical and geographical context of the Gospel narrative. It highlights the political landscape of the region during the early first century and serves as a testament to the historical grounding of the biblical account.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abilene</span><p>the father of mourning<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abilene</span><p>(<i>land of meadows</i>), (<a href="/luke/3-1.htm">Luke 3:1</a>) a city situated on the eastern slope of Antilibanus, in a district fertilized by the river Barada (Abana).

The district derived its name from Abila, its chief town, which was situated, according to the Itinerarium Antonini, 18 Roman miles from Damascus on the way to Heliopolis (Baalbec). This places it in the neighborhood of the village of Suk Wady Barada (see ABANAH), near which there are considerable ancient remains, with an inscription in Greek stating that a "freedman of Lysanias the tetrarch" made wall and built a temple, and another in Latin recording the repair of the road "at the expense of the Abilenians." The memory of the ancient name probably survives in the Moslem legend which places the tomb of Abel in a neighboring height where there are ruins of a temple. Josephus calls this Abila, he Lusaniou, literally, "the Abilene of Lysanius," thus distinguishing it from other towns of the same name, and as late as the time of Ptolemy (circa 170 A.D.) the name of Lysanias was associated with it.<br><br>The territory of Abilene was part of the Iturean Kingdom, which was broken up when its king, Lysanias, was put to death by M. Antonius, circa 35 B.C. The circumstances in which Abilene became distinct tetrarchy are altogether obscure, and nothing further is known of the tetrarch Lysanias (Ant., XIX, v, 1; XX, ii, 1). In 37 A.D. the tetrarchy, along with other territories, was granted to Agrippa I, after whose death in 44 A.D. it was administered by procurators until 53 A.D., when Claudius conferred it again, along with neighboring territories, upon Agrippa II. On Agrippa's death, toward the close of the 1st century, his kingdom was incorporated in the province of Syria. See <a href="../l/lysanias.htm">LYSANIAS</a>.<br><br>C. H.
