²⁵ The children of Kiriath-arim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and forty-three.

¹ So the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took the ark of the Lord to the house of Abinadab in Gibeah, and they made his son Eleazar holy and put the ark in his care.

²⁵ Gibeon and Ramah and Beeroth

²⁶ And Mizpeh and Chephirah and Mozah

²⁷ And Rekem and Irpeel and Taralah

²⁸ And Zela, Eleph and the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath and Kiriath; fourteen towns with their unwalled places. This is the heritage of the children of Benjamin by their families.

¹⁴ And the limit is marked as coming round to the south on the west side from the mountain which is south of Beth-horon, and ending at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-jearim), a town of the children of Judah: this is the west part.

⁶⁰ Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah; two towns with their unwalled places.

⁹ And the limit is marked out from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and out to the towns of Mount Ephron, as far as Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim):
