In the Tanakh or Old Testament, Amraphel was a king of Shinar (Babylonia, broadly speaking) in Genesis xiv.1 and 9, who invaded the west along with Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and others, and destroyed Sodom. Beginning with E.

However, according to The Oxford Companion to the Bible, this view has been largely abandoned in recent years. In the Midrash and the later Rabbinical l ...

This battle, fought probably about 1095 BC, put an end to the forty years of Philistine oppression.

This was the spot where, twenty years before, the Israelites had suffered a great defeat, when the Ark of God was taken.
