Smith's Bible Dictionary [1]

Sal'chah. (Migration). A city named, in the early records of Israel, as the extreme limit of Bashan,  Deuteronomy 3:10;  Joshua 13:11, and of the tribe of Gad.  1 Chronicles 5:71. On another occasion , the name seems to denote a district, rather than a town.  Joshua 12:5. It is identical with the town of Sulkhad , (56 miles east of the Jordan, at the southern extremity of the Hauran range of mountains. The place is nearly deserted, though it contains 800 stone houses, many of them, in a good state of preservation. - Editor).

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary [2]

A city of Bashan, conquered by the Jews and assigned to Manasseh,  Deuteronomy 3:10   Joshua 12:5   13:11 . It was near the border of Gad,  1 Chronicles 5:11 , and where the boundary line between the two tribes ran out farthest into the desert. A town called Salchat still exists there, on the southeast border of the modern Hauran.
