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.

Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary [3]

A city belonging to Bashan beyond Jordan (Deuteronomy 3:10) If from Salah, perhaps the name means treading down.
