Abstract
Based on an archaeological discovery—an inscription uncovered at Qal‘at Sela‘ in Edom—this article attempts to explain the merge of Edom with Babylon in Psalm 137. It proposes that ha-sela‘ in Ps 137:9 refers to this Edomite stronghold and reflects the psalmist’s wish that Babylonia suffer a defeat similar to one it inflicted on Edom at Qal‘at Sela.
