- he did according.
* 2Ch 24:2,17; 25:14-16 Jer 16:19 Zec 1:4-6 1Pe 1:18

VERSE 7
- A.M. 3177. B.C.827. slew.
* 2Ki 8:20-22 2Ch 25:11,12
- 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.
* 2Sa 8:13 1Ch 18:12 Ps 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
Petraea. 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.
- Joktheel.

VERSE 9
- The thistle.
* Jud 9:8-15 2Sa 12:1-4 1Ki 4:33 Eze 20:49
The word {choach,} which is rendered here, and in 2 Ch 18 25:18;
Job 31:18, thistle, in 1 Sa 6 13:6, thicket in Isa 34:13,
bramble, and in 2 Ch 11 33:11; Pr 26:9; So 2:2; Ho 9:6 thorn, is
probably the black thorn, or sloe tree, the {prunus spinosa}
of Linnaeus, as the same word signifies in Arabic. 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 Ch 10 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.

miles from Gaza, according to Pliny, but 1,260 stadia, or 157
miles, according to Strabo and Marcianus Herecleota. It is
now called Akaba, and is nothing but a tower or castle,
