2Sa 18:18 Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and reared up for himself a pillar, which is in the king's dale: for he said, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance: and he called the pillar after his own name: and it is called unto this day, Absalom's place.
Gen 14:17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him after his return from the slaughter of Chedorlaomer, and of the kings that were with him, at the valley of Shaveh, which is the king's dale.
Shaveh, Valley of, (shayʹve), the valley where the king of Sodom and Melchizedek, king of Jerusalem, met Abraham as he returned from his battle with the kings of the north (Gen. 14:17). This valley, also called the King’s Valley, was presumably the same as that in which Absalom erected his monument (2 Sam. 18:18). Suggestions as to its identity include the Kidron, the western Hinnom, and the Wadi Joz, all valleys in the Jerusalem area.
