SHAVEH KIRJATHAIM
SHAVEH KIRJATHAIM (translated by the LXX.
Σαυὴ ἡ πόλις), the original seat of that very ancient people the Emims, where they were smitten by Chedorlaomer, king of Elam. (
Gen. 14.5.)
It no doubt passed with the other possessions of the Emims to the Moabites (
Deut. 2.9--11), and is probably identical with the Kiriathaim (LXX.
Καριαθαὶμ) of Jeremiah (48.23) and Ezekiel (25.9).
