Eziongaber or Eziongeber. [E'zion-ga'ber or -ge'ber]


One of the encampments of the children of Israel, near the head of the gulf of Akaba. It was where Solomon had a navy of ships and where the ships of Jehoshaphat were broken. Num. 33: 35, 36; Deut. 2: 8; 1 Kings 9: 26; 1 Kings 22: 48; 2 Chr. 8: 17; 2 Chr. 20: 36.

Probably the same as Ain el Ghudyan, now ten miles up the dry bed of the Arabah, the sea having receded.
