    Notes 
    • Place name meaning, wall. A Moabite city mentioned in connection with Ar in Isaiah’s prophesy against Moab (Isa 15:1). Many believe that Kir is the same as Kir-Hareseth, an ancient capital of Moab along with Ar. Located at Kerak about seventeen miles south of the Arnon and eleven miles east of the Dead Sea. A place to which Tiglath-pileser carried the Syrians captive after he had taken the city of Damascus (2 Kin 16:9; Amos 1:5; 9:7). Isaiah (Isa 22:6), who also was contemporary with these events, mentions it along with Elam.
