Thematic Bible: Joktheel


Thematic Bible



Amaziah strengthened his position and led his people to the Valley of Salt. He struck down 10,000 Seirites, and the Judahites captured 10,000 alive. They took them to the top of a cliff where they threw them off, and all of them were dashed to pieces.

Amaziah killed 10,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He took Sela in battle and called it Joktheel, which is its name to this very day.


Dilan, Mizpeh, Jokthe-el,


The territory of the Amorites extended from the Ascent of Akrabbim, that is from Sela upward.
