Joshua 13:19

And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethshahar in the mount of the valley,

And Kirjathaim,.... Of which See Gill on "Numbers 32:37";

and Sibmah; of which See Gill on "Numbers 32:3" and

See Gill on "Numbers 32:38";

and Zarethshahar, in the mount of the valley; which was built on one of the mountains that looked over the valley of Moab, as did Nebo, Pisgah, Abarim; perhaps it is the same place Josephus {k} calls Zara, to which he joins the valley of the Cilicians, and mentions it along with Heshbon, Medeba, and other cities of Moab; according to Adrichomius {l}, it was in the mount of the valley of Bethpeor, which next follows.


{k} Antiqu. l. 13. c. 15. sect. 4.
{l} Ut supra, (Theatrum Ter. Sanct.) p. 130.
