The meaning of Helam in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
he'-lam (chelam, II Samuel 10:16 f.; in II Samuel 16:17 with the he of locale; Septuagint Hailam): A place near which David is said to have defeated the Aramean world under Hadarezer (II Samuel 10:16 ff.). Its site is unknown. Cornill and others introduce it into the text of Ezekiel 47:16 from the Septuagint Heliam). This would place it between the territories of Damascus and Hamath, which is not unreasonable. Some scholars identify it with Aleppo, which seems too far north.
