Usage: The term is used in the context of a geographical location, specifically the Valley of Siddim, which is mentioned in the context of a battle involving several kings. Context: The Valley of Siddim is a significant location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in Genesis 14:3, 8, and 10. It is described as the site of a battle involving the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboiim, and Bela (Zoar) against Chedorlaomer and his allies. The valley is noted for its tar pits, which played a role in the battle's outcome. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) describes this event as follows: "All these latter kings joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea)" (Genesis 14:3, BSB). The Valley of Siddim is traditionally associated with the area now submerged by the southern part of the Dead Sea, known for its bitumen pits. This location is significant in biblical history as it sets the stage for the rescue of Lot by Abram (later Abraham).
