From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Joktheel
      subdued by God. (1.) A city of Judah near Lachish (Josh. 15,
      38). Perhaps the ruin Kutlaneh, south of Gezer.
     
         (2.) Amaziah, king of Judah, undertook a great expedition
      against Edom (2 Chr. 25:5-10), which was completely successful.
      He routed the Edomites and slew vast numbers of them. So
      wonderful did this victory appear to him that he acknowledged
      that it could have been achieved only by the special help of
      God, and therefore he called Selah (q.v.), their great fortress
      city, by the name of Joktheel (2 Kings 14:7).
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
