1. The dual form of Kirjath, a city. It was an ancient city of the Emim, east of the Jordan; afterwards inhabited by the Moabites, Amorites, and Israelites in turn, Gen 14:5 Deu 2:9-11 Eze 25:9 . It fell within the limits of the tribe of Reuben, Num 32:37 Jos 13:19 2. A Levitical city in Naphtali, 1Ch 6:76 ; called Kartan, in Jos 21:32 .<\/p>\n
(Heb. Kiryatha’yim, , two cities, i.e. double-town; Sept. , but in Numbers; in Genesis; v. r. or in Jeremiah and Ezekiel; [apparently mistaking the directive termination for ] in Ezekiel; Auth. Vers. ” Kiriathaim” in Jeremiah and Ezekiel), the name of two places.<\/p>\n
1. One of the most ancient towns in the country east of the Jordan (see Ewald, Gesch. Isr. i, 308), as it was possessed by the gigantic Emim (Gen 14:5), who were expelled by the Moabites (compare Deu 2:9-10), and these, in their turn, were dispossessed by the Amorites, from whom it was taken by the Israelites. Kirjathaim was then assigned to Reuben (Num 32:37; Jos 13:19); but during the Assyrian exile the Moabites again took possession of this and other towns (Jer 48:1; Jer 48:23; Eze 25:9). Burckhardt (Travels, p. 367) found ruins, called El-Teim, which he conjectures to have been Kiriathaim, the last syllable of the name being retained. This is somewhat doubtful, as the Christian village Kariatha or Koreiatha (, ) of Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v.) is placed ten miles west of Medeba, whereas El-Teim is but two miles (Seetzeni places it at half an hour, Reise, i, 408). Michaelis (Orient. u. exey. Bibl. 3:120; Suppl. 2203 sq.) compares the modern city Kiujathaimi, one day’s journey from Palmyra (Wood, Ruins of Pallmyra, p. 34); and Busching (Erdb. 11:5(8) adduces Kriathaim (in Pliny, 6:32, Carriata), a place in the desert of Arabia; but botl these identifications are inadmissible (Hamesvell, 3:169). Ritter (Erdim Ekde, 15:1185,1186) supposes that the Ononmasticon confounds two places of the same name, one being the ancient city corresponding to El-Teim, north of the wady Zurka, and the other the Christian town, represented by the modern KureTyrut, south of the same wady; but we see no occasion for this, as the latter place, the name of which fully agrees, lies at the required distance (eleven miles, Seetzen, Reise, ii, 342) south-west of Medeba (Porter, Handbook, p. 300), upon the southern slope of Jebel Attarus (perhaps referred to by Eusebius in the expression annexed to his description, , on the Baris, using the term in the sense of a fortress on a hill-top rather than alluding to a position beyond the valley Zurka-Main, which Ritter, p. 578, fancifully conceives to be thus indicated from the abundance of mandrakes, ). SEE KEROTH, 2.<\/p>\n
2. A city of refuge in the tribe of Naphtali (1Ch 6:76); elsewhere (Jos 21:32) called KARTAN SEE KARTAN (q.v.).<\/p>\n

It was assigned to the tribe of Reuben (Num. 32:37<\/span>). In the time of Ezekiel (25:9) it was one of the four cities which formed the “glory of Moab” (comp. Jer. 48:1<\/span>, 23<\/span>). It has been identified with el-Kureiyat, 11 miles south-west of Medeba, on the south slope of Jebel Attarus, the ancient Ataroth.<\/p>\n kur-ja-thaim, kir-ja-thaim. See KIRIATHAIM.<\/p>\n [Kirjatha’im]<\/p>\n 1. City of Reuben, east of the Jordan. Num 32:37; Jos 13:19.
