    All supplied forms are tagged Noun · Proper. In 2 Kings 14:22 the APB renders a clause in which it is rebuilt and restored to Judah; in 2 Kings 16:6 it is restored to Aram and becomes a place where others settle. In Deuteronomy 2:8 the APB renders it as a point on the route of the Arabah, alongside Ezion-geber.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Elath” in all three verses, while also using “Eloth” in 2 Kings 16:6. That variation cannot by itself establish a different use of the Hebrew form.
