But who took their place?\r\n\r\n","content":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16:6 \u201cAt that time Rezin king of Aram restored Eilath to Aram and drove out the Judeans from Eilath, while the Edomites came to Eilath and dwelled there till this day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is puzzling that Rezin, in the midst of laying siege against Jerusalem, should have gone on an expedition to Eilath in the far south. This difficulty is compounded by the fact that the consonantal text has Arameans settling in Eilath, but the Masoretic marginal gloss corrects this to Edomites. (The graphic difference in Hebrew between \u201cAram\u201d and \u201cEdom\u201d is minimal because the letters <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reish<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dalet<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are similar in appearance.) The original verse may have read: The king of Edom restored Eilath to Edom. The Edomites could easily have taken advantage of the fact that the Judahite forces were distracted by the siege of Jerusalem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From: Robert Alter, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hebrew Bible<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, vol. 2: Prophets, W.
