- JEARIM OR BAALAH @ a city of the Gibeonites- kjv@Joshua:9:17; kjv@Joshua:15:9; kjv@1Samuel:6:21; kjv@1Samuel:7:2; kjv@Ezra:2:25; kjv@Nehemiah:7:29; kjv@Jeremiah:26:20

KIR - K>@ - (fortress) is mentioned by Amos, kjv@Amos:9:7) as the land from which the Syrians (Aramaeans) were once "brought up;" i.e. apparently as the country where they had dwelt before migrating to the region north of Palestine. (A difference of opinion exists in regard to the position of Kir, since some suppose it to be identical with Carma, a city of Media, in the south, on the river Mardus; others place it in Armenia, on the river Kar.
ED.)

KIRHARASETH - K>@ - (brick fortress), ( kjv@2Kings:3:25) Kir-ha’resh, kjv@Isaiah:16:11) Kir-har’es, kjv@Jeremiah:48:31-36) These four names are all applied to one place, probably KIR OF MOAB OF MOAB, which see.

KIRIAH - K>@ - apparently an ancient or archaic word, meaning a city or town. It may be compared to the word "burg" or "bury" in our own language. Closely related to Kiriah is Kereth, apparently a Phoenician form, which occurs occasionally. kjv@Job:29:7; kjv@Proverbs:8:3) As a proper name it appears in the Bible under the forms of Kerioth, Kartah, Kartan, besides those immediately following.

KIRIATHAIM - K>@ - KIRJATHAIM

KIRIOTH - K>@ - (two cities), a place in Moab the palaces of which were threatened by Amos with destruction by fire, kjv@Amos:2:2) unless indeed the word means simply "the cities," which is probably the case also in kjv@Jeremiah:48:4)

KIRJATH - K>@ - (a city), the last of the cities enumerated as belonging to the tribe of Benjamin, kjv@Joshua:18:28) probably identical with the better-known place Kirjath-jearim.

KIRJATHARBA - K>@ - (the city of Arba), an early name of the city which after the conquest is generally known as HEBRON. kjv@Joshua:14:15; kjv@Judges:1:10) The identity of Kirjath-arba with Hebron is constantly asserted. kjv@Genesis:23:2 kjv@Genesis:35:27; kjv@Joshua:14:15 kjv@Joshua:15:13-54 kjv@Joshua:20:7 ; 21:11)

KIRJATHARIM - K>@ - (city of forests), an abbreviated form of the name Kirjath-jearim, which occurs only in kjv@Ezra:2:25)

KIRJATHBAAL - K>@ - [KIRJATH

- JEARIM]

KIRJATHHUZOTH - K>@ - (city of streets), a place to which Balak accompanied Balaam immediately after his arrival in Moab, kjv@Numbers:22:39) and which is nowhere else mentioned. It appears to have lain between the Arnon (Wady Mojeb) and Bamoth-baal. Comp. vs. kjv@Numbers:22:36) and Numb 22:41

KIRJATHJEARIM - K>@ - (the city of forests), first mentioned as one of the four cities of the Gibeonites, kjv@Joshua:9:17) it next occurs as one of the landmarks of the northern boundary of Judah, ch kjv@Joshua:15:9) and as the point at which the western and southern boundaries of Benjamin coincided, ch. kjv@Joshua:18:14-15) and in the last two passages we find that it bore another, perhaps earlier, name
that of the great Canaanite deity Baal, namely BAALAH and KIRJATH

- BAAL. At this place the ark remained for twenty years. ( kjv@1Samuel:7:2) At the close of that time Kirjath-jearim lost its sacred treasure, on its removal by David to the house of Obed-edom the Gittite. ( kjv@1Chronicles:13:5-6; kjv@2Chronicles:1:4; 2 Samuel kjv@6:2) etc. To Eusebius and Jerome it appears to have been well known. They describe it as a village at the ninth mile between Jerusalem and Diospolis (Lydda). These requirements are exactly fulfilled in the small modern village of Kuriet-el
- Enab
now usually known as Abu Gosh , from the robber chief whose headquarters it was
on the road from Jaffa and Jerusalem.

KIRJATHSANNAH - K>@ - (city of books). DEBIR

KIRJATHSEPHER - K>@ - (city of books). kjv@Joshua:15:15-16; kjv@Judges:1:11-12) DEBIR

KIR OF MOAB - K>@ - (fortress of Moab), one of the two chief strongholds of Moab, the other being Ar of Moab. The name occurs only in kjv@Isaiah:15:1) though the place is probably referred to under the names of Kir-heres, Kir-harseth, etc. It is almost identical with the name Kerak , by which the site of an important city in a high and very strong position at the southeast of the Dead Sea is known at this day. Its situation is truly remarkable. It is built upon the top of a steep hill, surrounded by a deep and narrow valley, which again is completely enclosed by mountains rising higher than the town and overlooking it on all sides.

easton:

Kir @ a wall or fortress, a place to which Tiglath-pileser carried the Syrians captive after he had taken the city of Damascus ( kjv@2Kings:16:9; kjv@Amos:1:5 kjv@Amos:9:7). Isaiah (22:6), who also was contemporary with these events, mentions it along with Elam. Some have supposed that Kir is a variant of Cush (Susiana), on the south of Elam.

Kir of Moab @Isaiah:15:1. The two strongholds of Moab were Ar and Kir, which latter is probably the Kir-haraseth (16:7) following.

Kir-haraseth @ built fortress, a city and fortress of Moab, the modern Kerak, a small town on the brow of a steep hill about 6 miles from Rabbath
- Moab and 10 miles from the Dead Sea; called also Kir-haresh, Kir-hareseth, Kir-heres kjv@Isaiah:16:7 kjv@Isaiah:16:11 kjv@Jeremiah:48:31-36). After the death of Ahab, Mesha, king of Moab (see MOABITE STONE), threw off allegiance to the king of Israel, and fought successfully for the independence of his kingdom. After this Jehoram, king of Israel, in seeking to regain his supremacy over Moab, entered into an alliance with Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and with the king of Edom. The three kings led their armies against Mesha, who was driven back to seek refuge in Kir-haraseth. The Moabites were driven to despair. Mesha then took his eldest son, who would have reigned in his stead, and offered him as a burnt-offering on the wall of the fortress in the sight of the allied armies. "There was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land." The invaders evacuated the land of Moab, and Mesha achieved the independence of his country ( kjv@2Kings:3:20-27).

Kirjath @ city, a city belonging to Benjamin kjv@Joshua:18:28), the modern Kuriet el-'Enab, i.e., "city of grapes", about 7 1/2 miles west-north-west of Jerusalem.

Kirjath-arba @ city of Arba, the original name of Hebron (q.v.), so called from the name of its founder, one of the Anakim kjv@Genesis:23:2 kjv@Genesis:35:27; kjv@Joshua:15:13). It was given to Caleb by Joshua as his portion. The Jews interpret the name as meaning "the city of the four", i.e., of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Adam, who were all, as they allege, buried there.

Kirjath-huzoth @ city of streets, kjv@Numbers:22:39, a Moabite city, which some identify with Kirjathaim. Balak here received and entertained Balaam, whom he had invited from Pethor, among the "mountains of the east," beyond the Euphrates, to lay his ban upon the Israelites, whose progress he had no hope otherwise of arresting. It was probably from the summit of Attarus, the high place near the city, that the soothsayer first saw the encampments of Israel.

Kirjath-jearim @ city of jaars; i.e., of woods or forests, a Gibeonite town kjv@Joshua:9:17) on the border of Benjamin, to which tribe it was assigned (18:15,28). The ark was brought to this place ( kjv@1Samuel:7:1-2) from Beth-shemesh and put in charge of Abinadab, a Levite. Here it remained till it was removed by David to Jerusalem ( kjv@2Samuel:6:2-3, 12; kjv@1Chronicles:15:1-29; comp. Psalms:132). It was also called Baalah kjv@Joshua:15:9) and Kirjath-baal

(60). It has been usually identified with Kuriet el-'Enab (i.e., "city of grapes"), among the hills, about 8 miles north-east of 'Ain Shems (i.e., Beth-shemesh). The opinion, however, that it is to be identified with 'Erma, 4 miles east of 'Ain Shems, on the edge of the valley of Sorek, seems to be better supported. (
See KIRJATH.) The words of kjv@Psalms:132:6, "We found it in the fields of the wood," refer to the sojourn of the ark at Kirjath-jearim. "Wood" is here the rendering of the Hebrew word jaar, which is the singular of jearim.

Kirjath-sannah @ city of the sannah; i.e., of the palm(?), kjv@Joshua:15:49; the same as Kirjath-sepher (15:16; kjv@Judges:1:11) and Debir (q.v.), a Canaanitish royal city included in Judah kjv@Joshua:10:38 kjv@Joshua:15:49), and probably the chief seat of learning among the Hittites. It was about 12 miles to the south-west of Hebron.

Kirjath-sepher @ city of books, kjv@Joshua:15:15; same as Kirjath-sannah (q.v.), now represented by the valley of ed
- Dhaberiyeh, south-west of Hebron. The name of this town is an evidence that the Canaanites were acquainted with writing and books. "The town probably contained a noted school, or was the site of an oracle and the residence of some learned priest." The "books" were probably engraved stones or bricks.

Kirjathaim @ two cities; a double city.

(1.) A city of refuge in Naphtali ( kjv@1Chronicles:6:76).

(2.) A town on the east of Jordan kjv@Genesis:14:5; kjv@Deuteronomy:2:9-10). It was assigned to the tribe of Reuben kjv@Numbers:32:37). In the time of Ezekiel (25:9) it was one of the four cities which formed the "glory of Moab" (comp. kjv@Jeremiah:48:1-23). It has been identified with el
- Kureiyat, 11 miles south-west of Medeba, on the south slope of Jebel Attarus, the ancient Ataroth.
