He built Elath, etc.] A port which belonged to Edom, (<050208>Deuteronomy 2:8 <110926>1 Kings 9:26) which very probably David took from them when he made them tributary, and which they retook when they revolted, and Amaziah got again when he defeated them; and this his son rebuilt and fortified: and restored it to Judah; annexed it to the kingdom of Judah, as in the days of David and Solomon: after that the king slept with his fathers; after the death of his father Amaziah.
