Kiriath-Sepher
From Isbe KIRIATH-SEPHER
kir-i-ath-se'-fer (qiryath cepher; translated by many, as if it were Hebrew, as "house of books." Septuagint polis grammaton; the King James Version, Kirjath Sepher; other suggestions have been made:
"border-town" (Moore) or "tolltown" (G.A. Smith): In two parallel passages (Joshua 15:15; Judges 1:11), it is mentioned as identical with DEBIR (which see), which has been frequently identified with edh-Dhaheriyeh. Sayce would place Kiriath-Sepher to the W. of Gath. See P E F S, 1893, 33-35.
