Elealeh:

God has ascended, a place in the pastoral country east of Jordan, in the tribe of Reuben (Num 32:3,37). It is not again mentioned till the time of Isaiah (Isa 15:4; 16:9) and Jeremiah (Jer 48:34). It is now an extensive ruin called el-A'al, about one mile north-east of Heshbon.

Elealeh:

burnt-offering of God

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Elealeh:

e-le-a'-le ('el‘aleh, "God has ascended"):

Lay in the country taken from Sihon and within the lot given to Reuben (Nu 32:3,17 f). "Their names being changed" seems to apply to all the towns mentioned. There is no indication of the other names. Elealeh is noticed with Heshbon in the oracles against Moab in Isa 15:4; 16:9; Jer 48:34. Eusebius (Onomasticon) locates it one Roman mile from Heshbon. It is represented today by el'Al, a mound crowned with ruins, about a mile North of Chesban.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Elealeh:

(the ascending of God) a place on the east of Jordan, taken possession of and rebuilt by the tribe of Reuben (Numbers 32:3; 32:37). By Isaiah and Jeremiah it is mentioned as a Moabite town (Isaiah 15:4; 16:9; Jeremiah 48:34).
