(Hebrew Yooktheel’, , subdued by God), the name of two cities.
1. (Sept. v.r. .) A town in the plain of Judah, mentioned between Mizpeh and Lachish (Jos 15:38). The associated names indicate a locality in the district southwest or west of Eleutheropolis (Keil’s Commentary, ad loc.); possibly at Balin, a small modern village a little south of Tell es-Safieh (Robinson, Researches, 2, 368).
2. (Sept. v.r. .) The name given by king Amaziah to SELAH, the capital of Idumaea, or Arabia Petrea, and subsequently borne by it (2Ki 14:7); from which circumstance he appears to have improved it after having captured it. SEE PETRA.

Joktheel
subdued by God. (1.) A city of Judah near Lachish (Josh. 15, 38). Perhaps the ruin Kutlaneh, south of Gezer.
(2.) Amaziah, king of Judah, undertook a great expedition against Edom (2 Chr. 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).

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 (2Ki 14:7, where “unto this day” limits the date of 2 Kings to not beyond 80 years after Amaziah, 2Ki 16:6; 2Ch 28:17). Having beaten Edom in “the Valley of Salt,” S. of the Dead Sea, he threw 10,000 captives from the cliff (2Ch 25:11-13).
