Kiriath-Sepher
Kiriath-Sepher
kir-i-ath-sefer ( , kiryath sepher; translated by many, as if it were Hebrew, as house of books. Septuagint , polis grammaton; the King James Version, Kirjath Sepher; other suggestions have been made: border-town (Moore) or tolltown (G.A. Smith): In two parallel passages (Jos 15:15 f; Jdg 1:11 f), it is mentioned as identical with DEBIR (which see), which has been frequently identified with edh-Dhaheryeh. Sayce would place Kiriath-Sepher to the W. of Gath. See PEFS, 1893, 33-35.
