Commentary on 2 Chronicles 25:11

Theological / Devotional

The valley of salt. The valley of salt (see 2 Sam. 8:13; 1 Chron. 18:12) was probably near the Dead Sea (see on 2 Kings 14:7). The record in Kings also states that they took Selah, which means “Rock.” This is probably the famous region of Petra, about 50 miles (80 km.) south of the Dead Sea. “Petra” is the Greek name for “rock.” Selah was probably the site of the Edomite capital at that time.
