It is mentioned in several biblical passages, including Numbers 32:37 and Jeremiah 48:1. Historically, Kiriathaim was a Moabite city before being conquered by the Israelites. The name means "two cities," suggesting it may have been a twin city or had two distinct parts. Archaeological evidence indicates that the area was inhabited during the Iron Age, aligning with the biblical timeline. The city's mention in Jeremiah as part of a prophecy against Moab highlights its continued significance in the region. Sibmah Zereth-shahar on the hill in the valley Persons / Places / Events 1.

Obedience to God's Word is crucial in experiencing His blessings.

The vine of Sibmah forms a feature in the lament of Isaiah (Isaiah 16:8) and Jeremiah (Jeremiah 48:32) over Moab. It was close by Heshbon, on the borders of Reuben and Gad (cf. ver. 17 with Joshua 21:39). Zareth-shahar, or the splendour of the dawn, now garar, was on the borders of the Dead Sea. Canon Tristram, in his 'Land of Moab,' mentions the gorgeous colouring of the landscape here, more beautiful and varied, no doubt, at dawn than at any other time of the day. Parallel Commentaries ...
