Kirjath-jearim. Signifying “city of forests.” From the days of Eusebius (4th century A.D.) it has been identified with Tell el-Azhar, near the modern Karyat el-Tnab, and about 8 mi. (12.8 km.) from Jerusalem on the road to Jaffa. Kirjath-jearim was originally one of the cities of the Gibeonites (Joshua 9:17). In the time of Samuel it was inhabited mainly by tribesmen from Judah.

Mahaneh-dan. That is, “camp of Dan” (see on ch. 13:25).
