e.lot is a proper place name associated with the shore of the sea in Edom and with building, restoration, and control.

The term is used as a proper place name: the verses locate it by the sea in Edom and describe travel to it, building or restoring it, and changing control over it.

Senses in use

  1. 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.
