Top of the rock. This was probably some cliff overhanging the town of Petra.

Edomite Selah lay on the steep mountain Umm al Biara, the only place where ancient remains of this period have thus far been found. This massacre of the prisoners is not mentioned in Kings, but is quite understandable in view of the savage warfare of those days (see 2 Kings 8:12; Amos 1:11, 13).
