SALECAH

(Heb. salkâ)

A city on the eastern boundary of Og’s kingdom (Deut. 3:10; Josh. 12:5). It was captured by the invading Israelites and given to Gadites (1 Chr. 5:11). Salecah was probably an outer limit of the Bashan territory.

The city is almost unanimously identified as modern Òalkhad (311212), a place built on a lava plug of an extinct volcano. According to a Nabatean inscription found at the site, it was captured by the Nabatean king Malik in a.d. 17, and at that time was named ßalhad.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
