the valley of salt . Some suppose that the Valley of Salt was south of the Dead , or Salt Sea , towards the land of Edom; and others suppose it to be the Valley of Salt , about three or four miles south-east of Palmyra , which now supplies , in a great measure , the surrounding country with salt. 2 Samuel 8 . 13 , 1 Chronicles 18 . 12 , Psalm 60 . 1 , *title
Selah . or , the rock , Selah is generally supposed to be the same as Petra , which in Greek signifies a rock , the celebrated capital of Arabia Petrea. Strabo places it three or four days' journey from Jericho , and five days' journey from the forest of palm trees on the Red Sea. Pliny places it 600 miles from Gaza , and 125 from the Persian Gulf; but Cellarius and Reland very justly consider that the numbers have been changed , and that we ought to read 125 miles from Gaza , and 600 from the Persian Gulf. Eusebius places Beerothbenejaakan 30 miles west from Petra , and Elath ten miles east; and Burckhardt discovered the ruins of this ancient city in a valley called Wady Mousa.

There is a vast deal of insolent dignity in this remonstrance of Jehoash; but it has nothing conciliatory; no proposal of making amends for the injury his army had done to the unoffending inhabitants of Judah . 2 Chronicles 25 . 10-13. The comparatively useless thorn , which may by chance lacerate the incautious passenger , is made the emblem of the house of Judah and David , while the house of Jehu is represented by the stately cedar.
