Kir-heres. Believed to be the same as the Kir-haraseth of 2 Kings 3:25 and the Kir-hareseth of Isa. 16:7, the modern el-Kerak in southern Moab. After referring to cities that had previously belonged to Israel, Jeremiah mentions a place in Moab proper. Kir-heres was one of the most important cities of Moab. Here Mesha took refuge from Israelite besiegers, and sacrificed his eldest son as a burnt offering upon the walls of the city (see 2 Kings 3:25-27).
