14:7 10,000 Edomites: Amaziah’s victory, mentioned only briefly here, is discussed in detail in 2 Chr 25:5-15. Despite granting Amaziah this victory, God chastised him both for hiring Israelite mercenaries and for carrying home Edomite gods and worshiping them. • The Valley of Salt was about three miles south of the Dead Sea. • Sela is traditionally identified as a site in the rocks and cliffs near Petra in modern Jordan. The capture of this highly defensible location demonstrated that Amaziah’s victory was God-given.
