Valley of Salt

Valley of Salt

Valley of Salt - a place where it is said David smote the Syrians (2 Sam. 8:13).This valley (the' Arabah) is between Judah and Edom on the southof the Dead Sea. Hence some interpreters would insert the words,"and he smote Edom," after the words, "Syrians" in the abovetext. It is conjectured that while David was leading his armyagainst the Ammonites and Syrians, the Edomites invaded thesouth of Judah, and that David sent Joab or Abishai againstthem, who drove them back and finally subdued Edom. (Comp. titleto Ps. 60.)

Here also Amaziah "slew of Edom ten thousand men" (2 Kings14:7; comp. 8: 20-22 and 2 Chr. 25:5-11).
