Joshua 32:19

And Kirjathaim Of which (See Gill on Numbers 32:37);

and Sibmah; of which (See Gill on Numbers 32:3) and (See Gill on Numbers 32:38);

and Zarethshahar, in the mount of the valley;
which was built on one of the mountains that looked over the valley of Moab, as did Nebo, Pisgah, Abarim; perhaps it is the same place Josephus ^F11 calls Zara, to which he joins the valley of the Cilicians, and mentions it along with Heshbon, Medeba, and other cities of Moab; according to Adrichomius {l}, it was in the mount of the valley of Bethpeor, which next follows.
