DEBIR - D>@ - (a sanctuary), the name of three places of Palestine. A town in the mountains of Judah, kjv@Joshua:15:49) one of a group of eleven cities to the west of Hebron. The earlier name of Debir was Kirjath-sepher, "city of book," kjv@Joshua:15:15; kjv@Judges:1:11) and Kirjath-sannah, "city of palm." kjv@Joshua:15:49) It was one of the cities given with their "suburbs" to the priests. kjv@Joshua:21:15; kjv@1Chronicles:6:58) Debir has not been discovered with certainty in modern times; but about three miles to the west of Hebron is a deep and secluded valley called the Wady Nunkur , enclosed on the north by hills, of which one bears a name certainly suggestive of Debir
Dewir-ban. A place on the north boundary of Judah, near the "valley of Achor." kjv@Joshua:15:7) A Wady Dabor is marked in Van Deuteronomy Velde’s map as close to the south of Neby Musa , at the northwest corner of the Dead Sea. The "border of Debir" is named as forming part of the boundary of Gad, kjv@Joshua:13:26) and as apparently not far from Mahanaim.

DEBIR - D>@ - king of Eglon; one of the five kings hanged by Joshua. kjv@Joshua:10:3 kjv@Joshua:10:23) (B.C. 1440.)

Debir @ oracle town; sanctuary.

(1.) One of the eleven cities to the west of Hebron, in the highlands of Judah kjv@Joshua:15:49; kjv@Judges:1:11-15). It was originally one of the towns of the Anakim kjv@Joshua:15:15), and was also called Kirjath-sepher (q.v.) and Kirjath-sannah

(49). Caleb, who had conquered and taken possession of the town and district of Hebron kjv@Joshua:14:6-15), offered the hand of his daughter to any one who would successfully lead a party against Debir. Othniel, his younger brother kjv@Judges:1:13 kjv@Judges:3:9), achieved the conquest, and gained Achsah as his wife. She was not satisfied with the portion her father gave her, and as she was proceeding toward her new home, she "lighted from off her ass" and said to him, "Give me a blessing [i.e., a dowry]: for thou hast given me a south land" kjv@Joshua:15:19, A.V.); or, as in the Revised Version, "Thou hast set me in the land of the south", i.e., in the Negeb, outside the rich valley of Hebron, in the dry and barren land. "Give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs." Debir has been identified with the modern Edh
- Dhaheriyeh, i.e., "the well on the ridge", to the south of Hebron.

(2.) A place near the "valley of Achor" kjv@Joshua:15:7), on the north boundary of Judah, between Jerusalem and Jericho.

(3.) The king of Eglon, one of the five Canaanitish kings who were hanged by Joshua kjv@Joshua:10:3 kjv@Joshua:10:23) after the victory at Gibeon. These kings fled and took refuge in a cave at Makkedah. Here they were kept confined till Joshua returned from the pursuit of their discomfited armies, when he caused them to be brought forth, and "Joshua smote them, and slew them, and hanged them on five trees"

(26).
