Lieut. Conder regards this as as different place from the simple KIRJATH, andwas inclined at first to locate it at Soba (Tent Work, 1:22), but finally at Khurbet Erma, two and a quarter milessouth of Chesalon or Kesla (Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey, 3:46 sq., where he argues the question at length); but most geographers still incline to the position at Kuryet Enab (or simply el-Kuryet), a full description of the archaeology of which is given in the same Memoirs (3:132 sq.).<\/p>\n
city of jaars; i.e., of woods or forests, a Gibeonite town (Josh. 9:17<\/span>) on the border of Benjamin, to which tribe it was assigned (18:15, 28). The ark was brought to this place (1 Sam. 7:1<\/span>, 2<\/span>) from Beth-shemesh and put in charge of Abinadab, a Levite. Here it remained till it was removed by David to Jerusalem (2 Sam. 6:2<\/span>, 3<\/span>, 12<\/span>; 1 Chr. 15:1-29<\/span>; comp. Ps. 132<\/span>). It was also called Baalah (Josh. 15:9<\/span>) 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, See ms to be better supported. (See KIRJATH<\/span>)<\/p>\n The words of Ps. 132:6<\/span>, “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_.<\/p>\n (“city of forests”.) Psa 132:6, “we (David and his people) when in Ephratah heard of the ark” as a hearsay, not as the religious center of the nation as when it was in Shiloh; “we found it in the fields of the wood,” i.e. in Kirjath Jearim, the forest town, where it lay neglected under Saul after its restoration by the Philistines (1Sa 6:21; 1Sa 7:1; 2Sa 6:2-3-4). David brought it up to Zion. Its other names BAALAH, BAALE of Judah, KIRJATH BAAL, betray its original connection with Baal worship (Jos 15:9; Jos 15:60; Jos 18:14; 1Ch 13:3; 1Ch 13:6).<\/p>\n Contracted into Kirjatharim (Ezr 2:25). Called simply Kirjath and assigned to Benjamin (Jos 18:28). Now Kuryet el Enab, “the city of grapes,” on the right bank of a long wady, with a fine old church, stone houses grouped round two or three castle-like houses, the hereditary residences of the family of Abu Ghaush, a marauding chief, amidst olive groves and terraced slopes. But Chaplin identifies Kirjath Jearim with the village Soba, Mount Seir on Judah’s border being Bath el Saghir. Caleb’s son Shobal was the father or founder over again of Kirjath Jearim (1Ch 2:50-53). It was one of the four Gibeonite cities which obtained peace with Israel by deceit (Jos 9:17).<\/p>\n The city of woods, Jos 15:9 so called from Jahar, a forest.<\/p>\n H7157<\/span> <\/p>\n Called Baalah, one of the four cities of the Gibeonites.<\/p>\n \n \n Inhabitants of, not smitten, on account of the covenant made by the Israelites with the Gibeonites, but put under servitude<\/p>\n Jos 9:3-27<\/span> <\/p>\n \n In the territory allotted to Judah<\/p>\n Jos 15:9<\/span>; Jos 15:60<\/span>; Jos 18:14<\/span> <\/p>\n \n The Philistines bring the ark to<\/p>\n 1Sa 6:1-21<\/span> <\/p>\n \n Ark remains twenty years at<\/p>\n 1Sa 7:1-2<\/span>; 1Ch 13:5-6<\/span> <\/p>\n \n David brings the ark from<\/p>\n 2Sa 6:1-11<\/span>; 1Ch 13:5-8<\/span>; 2Ch 1:4<\/span> <\/p>\n \n Inhabitants of, who were taken into captivity to Babylon, returned<\/p>\n Ezr 2:25<\/span>; Neh 7:29<\/span> <\/p>\n \n Urijah, the prophet, an inhabitant of<\/p>\n Jer 26:20<\/span> <\/p>\n Kirjath-jearim (kir’jath-j’a-rm), R. V., kiriath-jearim, the city of woods. One of the four cities of the Gibeonites, Jos 9:17, situated on the border of Judah and Benjamin, Jos 15:9; Jos 18:14-15, but belonging to Judah, Jos 15:60; Jdg 18:12; was also called Baalah, Jos 15:9-10, or Baale of Judah, 2Sa 6:2, or Kirjath-baal. Hither the ark was brought from Beth-shemesh, 1Sa 6:21; 1Sa 7:1-2, and here it remained until it was removed by David. 1Ch 13:5; 2Ch 1:4. The prophet Urijah, who was put to death by Jehoiakim, Jer 26:20, was born here, and after the captivity the people of the city returned in numbers to it. Neh 7:29.<\/p>\n Kir’jath-je’arim. (the city of forests). First mentioned as one of the four cities of the Gibeonites, Jos 9:17, it next occurs as one of the landmarks of the northern boundary of Judah, Jos 15:9, and as the point at which the western and southern boundaries of Benjamin coincided, Jos 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.<\/p>\n At this place, the Ark remained for twenty years. 1Sa 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. 1Ch 13:5-6; 2Ch 1:4; 2Sa 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.<\/p>\n Kirjath-jearim Lieut.
