("subdued by God".)

1. A city in the low country of Judah (Joshua 15:38), called so probably front the triumph there of God's people over the idolatrous Canaanites (Judges 1:9; Judges 1:18); now the ruin Keitulaneh.

2. The name given to Selah or Petra (the rock), Edom's capital, by Amaziah king of Judah. Its capture brought Edom again under Judah for 80 years (2 Kings 14:7, where "unto this day" limits the date of 2 Kings to not beyond 80 years after Amaziah, 2 Kings 16:6; 2 Chronicles 28:17). Having beaten Edom in "the Valley of Salt," S. of the Dead Sea, he threw 10,000 captives from the cliff (2 Chronicles 25:11-13).
