A named location by the sea in Edom · dominant
All four occurrences are tagged as a proper noun. In 1 Kings 9:26 and 2 Chronicles 8:17, the APB renders clauses locating the place near or on the shore of the sea in Edom; 2 Chronicles 26:2 describes building and restoring it to Judah, while 2 Kings 16:6 describes its restoration to Aram and the expulsion of Jews from it.
In the Anselm Paraphrase: The APB presents the place as “Eloth” in the location, building, and restoration clauses. In 2 Kings 16:6 it also uses “Elath” elsewhere in the verse; because the paraphrase is not word-aligned, the precise correspondence of those English forms to the token cannot be isolated.
