The meaning of Kir in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
a wall or fortress, a place to which Tiglath-pileser carried the Syrians captive after he had taken the city of Damascus (II Kings 16:9; Amos 1:5; 9:7). (Isaiah 22:6), who also was contemporary with these events, mentions it along with Elam. Some have supposed that Kir is a variant of Cush (Susiana), on the south of Elam.
