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).
