City in Moab denounced for judgment (Amos 2:2²But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth: and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet: (Amos 2:2)). Probably the same as KERIOTH in Jeremiah 48:24,41²⁴And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near. (Jeremiah 48:24)
⁴¹Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs. (Jeremiah 48:41). See KIRJATHAIM, No. 1.
