Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Elath: Elath, the Ala or Elana of the Greek and Roman writers, was a celebrated port situated at the extremity of the eastern branch of the Red Sea, hence called the Elanitic Gulf, ten miles east from Petra, according to Eusebius, and 150; Roman miles from Gaza, according to Pliny, but 1,260 stadia, or 157 miles, according to Strabo and Marcianus Herecleota. It is now called Akaba, and is nothing but a tower or castle, surrounded by a large grove of date trees, the residence of a governor, dependent on him of Grand Cairo. 2 Kings 16:6, Deuteronomy 2:8, 1 Kings 9:26, 2 Chronicles 26:2, Eloth
Reciprocal: 2 Chronicles 8:17 - Eloth

Gill's Notes on the Bible
He built Elath,.... A port which belonged to Edom, Deuteronomy 2:8 which very probably David took from them when he made them tributary, and which they retook when they revolted, and Amaziah got again when he defeated them; and this his son rebuilt and fortified:
and restored it to Judah; annexed it to the kingdom of Judah, as in the days of David and Solomon:
after that the king slept with his fathers; after the death of his father Amaziah.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Elath, or Eloth (marginal reference 1 Kings 9:26), was near Ezion-Geber, in the Gulf of Akabah. It had been lost to the Jews on the revolt of Edom from Joram 2 Kings 8:22. Uzziah’s re-establishment of the place, rendered possible by his father’s successes 2 Kings 14:7, was one of his first acts, and seems to imply a desire to renew the commercial projects which Solomon had successfully carried out, and which Jehoshaphat had vainly attempted 1 Kings 22:48.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 14:22. He built Elath — This city belonged to the Edomites; and was situated on the eastern branch of the Red Sea, thence called the Elanitic Gulf. It had probably suffered much in the late war; and was now rebuilt by Uzziah, and brought entirely under the dominion of Judah.
