(sshay' veh) Place name meaning, “valley, plain” or “ruler.” Place where the king of Sodom met Abraham on the latter's return from defeating the coalition of kings (Genesis 14:17 ). It is also called the king's valley or dale. There Absalom raised a monument to himself (2 Samuel 18:18 ). The Genesis Apocryphon locates it in Beth-Hakkerem, which is two and a half miles south of Jerusalem where the Kidron and Hinnom valleys join. It has also been located north, east, and west of Jerusalem.
