This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Kirjathaim - This city, according to Eusebius, was nine miles distant from Medeba, towards the east. It passed from the Emim to the Moabites, from the Moabites to the Amorites, and from the Amorites to the Israelites, Gen 14:6; Deu 2:20. Calmet supposes the Reubenites possessed it till the time they were carried away by the Assyrians; and then the Moabites appear to have taken possession of it anew, as he collects from Jer 48:1 etc., and Eze 25:9 etc.
Sibmah - A place remarkable for its vines. See Isa 16:8, Isa 16:9, Jer 48:32.
Zareth-shahar, in the mount of the valley - This probably means a town situated on or near to a hill in some flat country.
