1 Samuel 6:21
Kirjath-jearim - See Joshua 9:17 note. It has been thought that there was a high place at Kirjath-jearim (the hill, I Samuel 7:1), the remnant of its old pagan sanctity when it was called Kirjath-Baal, "the city of Baal" (see Joshua 18:14; II Samuel 6:2); and that for this reason it was selected as a proper place to send the ark to.
