(jih hahssh' uh fat) Place name meaning, “valley where Yahweh judged.” Place to which the Lord summons the nations for judgment (Joel 3:2 ). No evidence exists that any valley actually bore this name in Joel's time. Since the fourth century A.D. the Kidron Valley has been known as the Valley of Jehoshaphat; but there is no reason for believing Joel was referring to the Kidron Valley. The reference in Joel probably is meant to be symbolic. Through Joel, God promised all nations will ultimately be called to God's place of judgment. See Joel .
