Joktheel

Two places carry this name, meaning "subdued by God." One was a town in Judah near Lachish (Josh. 15:38). The other was the new name Amaziah, king of Judah, gave to Sela after conquering Edom and slaughtering its army (2 Kings 14:7); Sela, meaning "rock," is often linked to the Edomite highlands south of the Dead Sea, where a rock outcrop near Bozrah bears a carved relief and inscription of the Babylonian king Nabonidus, evidence that the region's strongholds remained significant for centuries after Amaziah's campaign.
