| <p> ( עמק־המּכך , <i> ''''' ‛ēmeḳ ''''' </i> <i> ''''' ha ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' melekh ''''' </i> ; [[Septuagint]] in Gen reads <i> ''''' tó ''''' </i> <i> ''''' pedı́on ''''' </i> ("the plain") <i> ''''' basiléos ''''' </i> , in 2 Sam, <i> ''''' hē ''''' </i> <i> ''''' koilás ''''' </i> ("valley") <i> ''''' toú ''''' </i> <i> ''''' basiléōs ''''' </i> ; the King James Version King's Dale): The place where the king of [[Sodom]] met [[Abram]] ( [[Genesis]] 14:17 ), and the situation of Absalom's monument ( 2 Samuel 18:18 ). It was identical with the Vale of Shaveh, and was evidently near Salem, the city of [[Melchizedek]] ( Genesis 14:17 ). If [[Salem]] (which see) is Jerusalem, then Absalom's pillar was also near that city, [[Josephus]] writes ( <i> Ant. </i> , VII, x, 3), "Absalom had erected for himself a marble pillar in the king's dale, two furlongs (stadia) from Jerusalem, which he named Absalom's Hand." In all probability this "pillar" was a rough upright stone - a <i> '''''maccēbhāh''''' </i> - but its site is lost. The traditional Greek-Egyptian tomb of perhaps 100-200 years Bc which has been hewn out of the rock on the eastern side of the [[Kidron]] valley is manifestly misnamed "Absalom's pillar," and the Kidron ravine ( <i> '''''naḥal''''' </i> ) cannot be the King's Vale ( <i> '''''‛ēmeḳ''''' </i> ). </p>
