Kirjathhuzoth

"City of streets, Num. 22:39, a Moabite city, which some identify" "with Kirjathaim. Balak here received and entertained Balaam," "whom he had invited from Pethor, among the "mountains of the" "east," beyond the Euphrates, to lay his ban upon the Israelites," whose progress he had no hope otherwise of arresting. It was "probably from the summit of Attarus, the high place near the" "city, that the soothsayer first saw the encampments of Israel."
