This name reflects the geographical and topographical features of the area associated with Jearim.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Jearim is primarily mentioned in the context of the biblical location Kiriath Jearim, which is a significant site in the history of Israel. Kiriath Jearim, meaning "City of Forests," is referenced in several passages of the Old Testament.<br><br>1. <b>Kiriath Jearim:</b> <br>· <b><a href="/joshua/9-17.htm">Joshua 9:17</a> :</b> "So the Israelites set out and on the third day came to their cities—Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim."<br>· <b><a href="/1_samuel/7.htm">1 Samuel 7:1-2</a> :</b> "Then the men of Kiriath Jearim came and took the ark of the LORD. They brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill and consecrated his son Eleazar to guard the ark of the LORD. And it was a long time, some twenty years in all, that the ark remained at Kiriath Jearim, and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD."<br><br>2. <b>Role in the Ark Narrative:</b> <br> Kiriath Jearim plays a crucial role in the narrative of the Ark of the Covenant. After the Philistines returned the Ark to Israel, it was brought to Kiriath Jearim and remained there for twenty years before King David moved it to Jerusalem. This period marks a time of spiritual renewal and longing for the presence of God among the Israelites.<br><br>3. <b>Geographical Significance:</b> <br> Kiriath Jearim is located in the tribal territory of Judah, near the border with Benjamin. It served as a strategic location due to its proximity to Jerusalem and its position along important trade and military routes. The city's association with forests suggests a lush, wooded environment, which may have contributed to its name.<br><br>4. <b>Historical and Archaeological Insights:</b> <br> Archaeological excavations in the area believed to be Kiriath Jearim have uncovered evidence of ancient settlements, fortifications, and religious activity. These findings provide insight into the city's historical significance and its role in the broader narrative of Israel's history.<br><br>5. <b>Prophetic and Symbolic Associations:</b> <br> In the prophetic literature, Kiriath Jearim is sometimes mentioned in the context of Israel's spiritual journey and the nation's relationship with God. The city's history with the Ark symbolizes the presence and holiness of God, as well as the need for reverence and obedience to His commandments.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b> <br>Jearim, through its association with Kiriath Jearim, serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the importance of His presence among His people. The narrative of the Ark at Kiriath Jearim underscores themes of repentance, worship, and the centrality of God's covenant with Israel. The city's role in biblical history highlights the need for spiritual renewal and the pursuit of God's presence in the life of the believer.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jearim</span><p>a leap; woods<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jearim</span><p>(<i>forests</i>)<i>, Mount,</i> a place named in specifying the northern boundary of Judah.
