(At that time King Rezin of Syria recovered Elat for Syria; he drove the Judahites from there. Syrians arrived in Elat and live there to this very day.)

Azariah built up Elat and restored it to Judah after the king had passed away.

Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and to Elat on the coast in the land of Edom.

Uzziah built up Elat and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah had passed away.

So we turned away from our relatives the descendants of Esau, the inhabitants of Seir, turning from the desert route, from Elat and Ezion Geber, and traveling the way of the Moab wastelands.

King Solomon also built ships in Ezion Geber, which is located near Elat in the land of Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
