In Joshua 17:11 the APB renders the name among places and their “daughters,” while in 1 Kings 9:15 it occurs in the account of places built under Solomon; in 2 Kings 9:27 and 2 Chronicles 35:22 it marks the destination or valley connected with conflict and death, and Zechariah 12:11 names its valley in a comparison of mourning.
