What Stood Out |
This page may have some technical imperfections, but is made available before inspection for you to benefit from the majority of material that likely has no problems. II Kings 14:7 (2021) – He slew of Edom in the
valley of salt ten thousand, and took Selah by war, and called
the name of it Joktheel unto this day. [This is the only place
in the King James Bible where this is used as the name of a city or
geographic location. Elsewhere the English translation Selah
is used as a stand-alone word in Psalms and Habakkuk. The Hebrew word here
in II Kings 14:7 is somewhat different from the Hebrew word in Psalms and
Habakkuk. The word used here in II Kings 14:7 means "rock" or "lofty," and
is commonly taken to refer to the city of Petra or some other elevated
rock area in Edom. The word used in Psalms and Habakkuk is sometimes taken
to signify "for ever" (appropriately symbolized by a rock) or an elevation
in pitch, so we can see its similarity to the word here in II Kings 14:7.] Back to Previous Page (Or to go back to where you left off you can use the "Back" button of your browser)
