Dale, The Kings
( , valley of the king), the name of a valley apparently near the Dead Sea, where Melchizedek met Abraham (Gen 14:17); otherwise called the Valley of Shaveh (q.v.), but identified by some with another of the same name (the modern Valley of Jehoshaphat, or, rather, its southern part, opening into the plot used for the king’s garden, about the well of Job and the pool of Siloam), in which Absalom reared his family monument (2Sa 18:18).

the name of a valley, the alternative for “the valley of Shaveh” (q.v.), near the Dead Sea, where the king of Sodom met Abraham (Gen. 14:17). Some have identified it with the southern part of the valley of Jehoshaphat, where Absalom reared his family monument (2 Sam. 18:18).
