In 2 Kings 23:17 , the King James Version has "title" for ציּוּן , ciyyūn . The word is connected with cāwāh , "to command," and King James Version seems to have understood ciyyūn as "that giving directions," "sign-posts" (compare Ezekiel 39:15 ). The word, however, means "grave-stone," "monument." See SUPERSCRIPTION .
