Kerioth


Kerioth is the name of two cities mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The spelling Kirioth appears in the King James Version of Amos 2:2.
  1. A town in the south of Judea. Judas Iscariot was probably a native, hence his name "Iscariot". It has been identified with the ruins of El Kureitein, about 10 miles south of Hebron.
  2. A city of Moab, called Kirioth.
