Joktheel

(subdued by God).

1. A city in the low country of Judah, (Joshua 15:38) named next to Lachish.
2. "God-subdued," the title given by Amaziah to the cliff (Authorized Version Selah) --the stronghold of the Edomites-- after he had captured it from them. (2 Kings 14:7) The parallel narrative of (2 Chronicles 25:11-13) supplies fuller details.

Joktheel

1. A city of Judah, Joshua 15:38

2. The name given by Amaziah to the capital of Arabia Petraea, 2 Kings 14:7. See SELA.

Subdued by God.

(1.) A city of Judah near Lachish (Joshua 15, 38). Perhaps the ruin Kutlaneh, south of Gezer.

(2.) Amaziah, king of Judah, undertook a great expedition against Edom (2 Chronicles 25:5-10), which was completely successful. He routed the Edomites and slew vast numbers of them. So wonderful did this victory appear to him that he acknowledged that it could have been achieved only by the special help of God, and therefore he called Selah (q.v.), their great fortress city, by the name of Joktheel (2 Kings 14:7).

jok'-the-el, jok'-thel (yoqethe'el):
