The name "Kiriath" itself means "city" in Hebrew, and it is often used as a prefix in the names of several locations mentioned in the Scriptures. These locations hold historical and theological significance within the biblical narrative.<br><br>1. <b>Kiriath-Arba</b>: This is perhaps the most notable mention of Kiriath in the Bible. Kiriath-Arba is another name for Hebron, a significant city in the biblical history of Israel. It is first mentioned in <a href="/genesis/23-2.htm">Genesis 23:2</a>, where it is described as the place where Sarah died: "Sarah died in Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went to mourn for Sarah and to weep over her." Hebron later becomes a city of refuge and a Levitical city, as well as the inheritance of Caleb, one of the faithful spies (<a href="/joshua/14-13.htm">Joshua 14:13-15</a>).<br><br>2. <b>Kiriath-Jearim</b>: This city is located in the territory of Judah and is significant for its association with the Ark of the Covenant. After the Ark was returned by the Philistines, it was brought to Kiriath-Jearim and remained there for twenty years before being moved to Jerusalem by King David (<a href="/1_samuel/7.htm">1 Samuel 7:1-2</a>). The city is mentioned in <a href="/1_chronicles/13-5.htm">1 Chronicles 13:5-6</a>: "So David assembled all the Israelites, from the Shihor River in Egypt to Lebo-hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim."<br><br>3. <b>Kiriath-Sepher</b>: Also known as Debir, this city was captured by Othniel, Caleb's younger brother, as recorded in <a href="/joshua/15-15.htm">Joshua 15:15-17</a>: "From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher). And Caleb said, 'I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage to the one who strikes down and captures Kiriath-sepher.' So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage."<br><br>4. <b>Kiriath-Huzoth</b>: Mentioned in <a href="/numbers/22-39.htm">Numbers 22:39</a>, this city is associated with the account of Balaam. Balak, the king of Moab, took Balaam to Kiriath-Huzoth to show him the extent of the Israelite camp, hoping to persuade him to curse Israel: "So Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth."<br><br>The various cities prefixed with "Kiriath" reflect the diverse historical and spiritual contexts within which they are mentioned. They serve as settings for significant events in the biblical narrative, from the patriarchal period through the time of the judges and into the monarchy. Each location contributes to the unfolding account of God's covenant relationship with His people, Israel, and highlights the geographical and cultural landscape of the ancient Near East.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">KIRIATH</span><p>kir'-i-ath (qiryath, "city"; the King James Version Kirjath): Mentioned (<a href="/joshua/18-28.htm">Joshua 18:28</a>) as a city of Benjamin; has been identified with Kuriet el `Enab, "town of grapes," a prosperous town on the highroad between Jerusalem and Jaffa; it is sometimes spoken of by the inhabitants as Qurieh.
