STEPBible TIPNR
The Ascent of Ziz is mentioned in the Bible as the location where King Jehoshaphat of Judah faced the invading armies of Moab, Ammon, and Mount Seir (2Ch.20.16). As Jehoshaphat and his people sought the Lord and praised Him, the Lord set ambushes against the invading armies, causing them to destroy one another (2Ch.20.22-23). The Ascent of Ziz was likely a pass or route leading up from the Dead Sea region towards Tekoa and the hill country of Judah. Its exact location is uncertain.
