Just making sure, is the 'bel' in Ah-bel like saying "apple" with a b, or is it more like ah-bell?

In English, it's Niels as in neils, emphasis on the first syllable, Abel cannot be pronounced in English. The closest you can come is Abel as in the Norwegian abel, but with an American accent. If you have an English accent, then you probably don't know who Abel is anyway.
