Kibzaim
Holman Bible Dictionary
(kihb' zay ihm) Place name meaning, “double gathering” or “double heap.” One of the Levitical cities in the tribal territory of Ephraim also designated as a city of refuge (Joshua 21:22 ). In a parallel list of cities in Chronicles, the name Jokmeam appears (1 Chronicles 6:68 ). This is not to be confused with Jokmeam (or Jokneam) of 1 Kings 4:12 . The reason for the appearance of Jokmean in 1Chronicles is unexplained. See Levitical Cities; Cities of Refuge; Jokmeam; Jokneam .
