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.
