| II Chronicles 20:2
| And there came messengers, and told Josaphat, saying: There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea, and out of Syria, and behold they are in Asasonthamar, which is Engaddi.
| Sea of Sodom, (Haydock) or the Red Sea. (Du Hamel) --- Syria, which comprised the country of Ammon. (Menochius) --- Perhaps Edom might rather have been in the text, as we find no Syrians in this war, but many of the Idumeans. (Calmet) --- Adom and Arom, (Syria. Haydock) have often been confounded, 4 Kings 16:6. (Calmet) --- Asasonthamar, "the palm-tree cottage," (Bochart) between Jericho and the Dead Sea.
