kir´i-ath (קרית, ḳiryath, “city”; the King James Version Kirjath):

Mentioned (Joshua 18:28) as a city of Benjamin; has been identified with Ḳuriet el ‛Enab, “town of grapes,” a prosperous town on the highroad between Jerusalem and Jaffa; it is sometimes spoken of by the inhabitants as Ḳurieh. It is, however, generally thought that Kiriath here stands for Kiriath-Jearim (which see). See PEF, III, 132, Sh XVII.
