Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun שָׁוֵה (Shaveh), as it is a specific place name unique to the Hebrew text.

Usage: The term "Shaveh" is used in the context of a place name in the Hebrew Bible. It is specifically mentioned in relation to a significant historical event.

Context: • Shaveh is identified as a valley or plain, notably mentioned in Genesis 14:17. This location is referred to as the "Valley of Shaveh," which is also called the "King's Valley." It is the site where Abram (later Abraham) met Melchizedek, the king of Salem, after Abram's victory over the kings who had captured his nephew Lot. The meeting in the Valley of Shaveh is significant for its theological implications, as it involves the blessing of Abram by Melchizedek, a priest of God Most High. The exact geographical location of the Valley of Shaveh is not definitively known, but it is traditionally associated with an area near Jerusalem.
