SELA, OR SELAH - S>@ - (the rock), ( kjv@2Kings:14:7; kjv@Isaiah:16:1) so rendered in the Authorized Version in Judges city later ( kjv@2Chronicles:25:12) probably known as Petra, the ruins of which are found about two days journey north of the top of the Gulf of Akabah and three or four south from Jericho and about halfway between the southern end of the Dead Sea and the northern end of the Gulf of Akabah. It was in the midst of Mount Seir, in the neighborhood of Mount Hor, and therefore Edomite territory, taken by Amaziah, and called Joktheel. In the end of the fourth century B.C. it appears as the headquarters of the Nabatheans, who successfully resisted the attacks of Antigonus. About 70 B.C. Petra appears as the residence of the Arab princes named Aretas. It was by Trajan reduced to subjection to the Roman empire. The city Petra lay, though at a high level, in a hollow three quarters of a mile long and from 800 to 1500 feet wide, shut in by mountain cliffs, and approached only by a narrow ravine, through which, and across the city’s site, the river winds. There are extensive ruins at Petra of Roman date, which have been frequently described by modern travellers.

SELAHAMMAHLEKOTH - S>@ - (the cliff of escapes or of divisions), a rock or cliff in the wilderness of Maon, southeast of Hebron, the scene of one of those remarkable escapes which are so frequent in the history of Saul’s pursuit of David. ( kjv@1Samuel:23:28)

SELAH - S>@ - This word, which is found only in the poetical books of the Old Testament, occurs seventy-one times in the Psalms and three times in Habakkuk. It is probably a term which had a meaning in the musical nomenclature of the Hebrews, though what that meaning may have been is now a matter of pure conjecture. (Gesenius and Ewald and others think it has much the same meaning as our interlude,
a pause in the voices singing, while the instruments perform alone.)

easton:

Sela @ =Se'lah, rock, the capital of Edom, situated in the great valley extending from the Dead Sea to the Red Sea ( kjv@2Kings:14:7). It was near Mount Hor, close by the desert of Zin. It is called "the rock" kjv@Judges:1:36). When Amaziah took it he called it Joktheel (q.v.) It is mentioned by the prophets kjv@Isaiah:16:1; kjv@Obadiah:1:3) as doomed to destruction. It appears in later history and in the Vulgate Version under the name of Petra. "The caravans from all ages, from the interior of Arabia and from the Gulf of Persia, from Hadramaut on the ocean, and even from Sabea or Yemen, appear to have pointed to Petra as a common centre; and from Petra the tide seems again to have branched out in every direction, to Egypt, Palestine, and Syria, through Arsinoe, Gaza, Tyre, Jerusalem, and Damascus, and by other routes, terminating at the Mediterranean." (
See EDOM 2.)

Sela-hammahlekoth @ cliff of divisions the name of the great gorge which lies between Hachilah and Maon, south-east of Hebron. This gorge is now called the Wady Malaky. This was the scene of the interview between David and Saul mentioned in kjv@1Samuel:26:13. Each stood on an opposing cliff, with this deep chasm between.

Selah @ a word frequently found in the Book of Psalms, and also in kjv@Habakkuk:3:9 kjv@Habakkuk:3:13, about seventy-four times in all in Scripture. Its meaning is doubtful. Some interpret it as meaning "silence" or "pause;" others, "end," "a louder strain," "piano," etc. The LXX. render the word by daplasma i.e., "a division."
