arabah - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Arabah
  plain, in the Revised Version of 2 Kings 14:25; Josh. 3:16;
  8:14; 2 Sam. 2:29; 4:7 (in all these passages the A.V. has
  "plain"); Amos 6:14 (A.V. "wilderness"). This word is found in
  the Authorized Version only in Josh. 18:18. It denotes the
  hollow depression through which the Jordan flows from the Lake
  of Galilee to the Dead Sea. It is now called by the Arabs
  el-Ghor. But the Ghor is sometimes spoken of as extending 10
  miles south of the Dead Sea, and thence to the Gulf of Akabah on
  the Red Sea is called the Wady el-Arabah.
