salt in 2 Kings 14
SALT
This thing shows up in 2 Kings 14:7: “He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real thing in a real place.
2 Kings 14:7
“He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, to this day.”
What kids can learn
When you hear salt in 2 Kings, remember the sentence around it. God put this thing in the story on purpose.
Read 2 Kings 14:7 again tomorrow and ask what the thing is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
