From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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.
