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

Kirjath Sannah
(“city of palms” (Gesenius), “city of doctrine” (Bochart).) It was in the mountains of Judah, not the usual habitat of palms, rather it was the Canaanite center of religious teaching (Jos 15:49) KIRJATH SANNAH or KIRJATH SEPHER, “city of a book.” Joshua took it and slew its king and inhabitants (Jos 10:38-39; Jos 12:13). It was then called also Debir (an inner place, namely, among the mountains) in the center of Judah, not the Debit on the N.E. frontier (Jos 15:7; Jos 15:15-16; Jos 11:21;Jos_ 21:15; Jdg 1:11-12). Assigned to the priests. Possibly now Dewirban on a hill an hour’s distance W. from Hebron; but more probably Dhoheriyeh: see Palestine Exploration Quarterly Statement, January, 1875, p. 48.
