Text:EBD:Kir
Revision as of 19:54, 13 November 2008 by Kathleen.wright5 (talk | contribs) (Kir (EBD) moved to Text:EBD:Kir)
A wall or fortress, a place to which Tiglath-pileser carried the Syrians captive after he had taken the city of Damascus (2 Kings 16:9; Amos 1:5; 9:7). Isaiah (22:6), who also was contemporary with these events, mentions it along with Elam. Some have supposed that Kir is a variant of Cush (Susiana), on the south of Elam.
