shā´ve-kir-ya-thā´im (×§×¨×™×ª×™× ×©×וה, shaÌ„weh kÌ£iryaÌ„thayim; ἐν Σαυὴ τῇ ποÌλει, en SaueÌ„Ì teÌ„Ì poÌlei): Here Chedorlaomer is said to have defeated the Emim (). the Revised Version margin reads “the plain of Kiriathaim.†If this rendering is right, we must look for the place in the neighborhood of Kiriathaim of Moab (, etc.), which is probably represented today by el-KÌ£areiyaÌ„t, about 7 miles to the North of Dibon.
