Salecah was a city of Bashan on the far eastern side of the transjordanian plateau. It is important because it marked the eastern reach of the territory conquered from Og and settled by Manasseh. First appears in Deut 3:10.1
AI summary: Salecah matters primarily as an edge marker of possession. Deuteronomy and Joshua use it to define the extent of Bashan under Israelite control, showing how far the conquest from Og's kingdom reached. Chronicles preserves that eastern horizon in the tribal memory of Manasseh. The cross references present Salecah as a frontier city at the far edge of the transjordanian inheritance.1
Wandering, a city of Bashan assigned to the half tribe of Manasseh (Deut. 3:10; Josh. 12:5; 13:11), identified with Salkhad, about 56 miles east of Jordan. 3
