It is possible that the name is a variation or a transliteration error of a known biblical location or figure. In biblical studies, understanding the context and possible origins of such terms is crucial for accurate interpretation and teaching.<br><br><b>Possible Associations:</b><br>1. <b>Kir-hareseth (Kir-haraseth):</b> A more likely reference is Kir-hareseth, a Moabite city mentioned in the Old Testament. This city is noted in the context of the Moabite rebellion against Israel. In <a href="/2_kings/3-25.htm">2 Kings 3:25</a>, the city is described as a stronghold of Moab: "They destroyed the cities, and each man threw a stone into every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring of water and felled every good tree. Only Kir-hareseth was left with its stones, but the slingers surrounded it and attacked it as well."<br><br>2. <b>Kir of Moab:</b> Kir-hareseth is often identified with Kir of Moab, another name for the same location. <a href="/isaiah/16-7.htm">Isaiah 16:7</a> mentions this city in a lament over Moab: "Therefore let Moab wail; let them wail together for Moab. Lament and grieve for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth."<br><br><b>Historical and Geographical Context:</b><br>Kir-hareseth, or Kir of Moab, was a significant city in the ancient kingdom of Moab, located east of the Dead Sea. The city was known for its strategic and fortified position, making it a critical site during military campaigns. The Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, and often found themselves in conflict with the Israelites.<br><br><b>Biblical Significance:</b><br>The city of Kir-hareseth is significant in the biblical narrative for several reasons:<br><br>· <b>Military Campaigns:</b> It was a focal point during the military campaigns of Israel against Moab. The account in <a href="/bsb/2_kings/3.htm">2 Kings 3</a> describes a coalition of Israel, Judah, and Edom attacking Moab, with Kir-hareseth being one of the last strongholds to fall.<br><br>· <b>Prophetic Lament:</b> The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah mention Kir-hareseth in their oracles against Moab, highlighting the city's importance and the impending judgment upon Moab. <a href="/isaiah/15.htm">Isaiah 15:1-2</a> states, "An oracle concerning Moab: Ar in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Kir in Moab is ruined, destroyed in a night! Dibon goes up to its temple, to its high places to weep; Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba. Every head is shaved, every beard is cut off."<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br>The references to Kir-hareseth in the Bible underscore themes of divine judgment and the futility of relying on human fortifications against God's will. The destruction of Moab and its cities serves as a reminder of the sovereignty of God over nations and the consequences of turning away from His commandments.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br>While Kirhara-seth as a term does not appear in the Bible, its likely association with Kir-hareseth provides insight into the historical and theological context of the Moabite-Israelite interactions. Understanding these connections enriches the study of biblical history and prophecy.<a name="cnc" id="cnc"></a><div class="vheading">Concordance</div><span class="encheading">Kirhara-seth (1 Occurrence)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/2_kings/3-25.htm">2 Kings 3:25</a></span><br />And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in <span class="boldtext">Kirhara-seth</span> they left the stones of it; but the slingers went about it, and smote it.<br /><span class="source">(WBS)</span><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/k/kirharaseth.htm"><span class="l"><b>Kirharaseth</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b> 3:20-27).
