What is Kir?
        KIR
        (wall, or place surrounded with walls), the city from which the Syrians emigrated when they came to settle in the region north of Palestine, and to which Tiglath-pileser sent the captive Syrians after the conquest of Damascus. 2 Kgs 16:9; Am 1:5; Hos 9:7. About the location of this city scholars disagree, some placing it in Armenia, on the river Kar, others identifying it with Carena, of Carea, in Media.
