SHAVEH KIRIATHAIM*

Plain east of the Dead Sea near the city of Kiriathaim and occupied by the people of Emim. The Emimites in Shaveh Kiriathaim are listed with a number of other tribes and nations that King Kedorlaomer and his allies defeated (Gn 14:5; nlt, “Kiriathaim”). This plain was later inherited by the sons of Reuben.
