shā´ve - kir - ya - thā´im ( קריתים שׁוה , shāweh ḳiryāthayim ; ἐν Σαυὴ τῇ πόλει , en Sauḗ tḗ pólei ): Here Chedorlaomer is said to have defeated the Emim ( Genesis 14:5 ). the Revised Version margin reads "the plain of Kiriathaim." If this rendering is right, we must look for the place in the neighborhood of Kiriathaim of Moab (Jeremiah 48:1 , etc.), which is probably represented today by el -Ḳareiyāt , about 7 miles to the North of Dibon.
