2 Kings 14:22 — KJV

Theological / Devotional

Elath. A city on the Gulf of Aqabah, near Ezion-geber (Deuteronomy 2:8), in the land of Edom (1 Kings 9:26). It probably fell to Israel when David conquered Edom (2 Samuel 8:14). Solomon utilized its port facilities (1 Kings 9:26; 2 Chronicles 8:17, 18). It was probably lost to Judah when Edom revolted from Jehoram (2 Kings 8:20-22).
