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).
