SALT, VALLEY OF . The scene of memorable victories of David over the Edomites ( 2 Samuel 8:13 , 1 Chronicles 18:12 ), and, at a later period, of Amaziah over the same enemies ( 2 Kings 14:7 , 2 Chronicles 25:11 ). It may be identified with the plain extending from the southern end of the Dead Sea to the foot of the cliffs which cross the valley from side to side and form the southern margin of the Ghor.
