Where the name appears

Events told in passages that name Kiriath-jearim, and how many of their verses do. That is not the same as saying they happened here: a place can be named as a landmark, as somewhere being travelled to, or as the subject of a prophecy.

A dot is a moment; a bar is something that lasted, drawn to its length. The fainter the mark, the fewer verses name the place.

  • War with Canaanites · 1450 BC · 1 verse
  • Prophecies of Jeremiah · 627 BC · 1 verse
