    ⁵The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan.

    ⁶The border went up to Beth Hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

    ⁷The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that faces the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river. The border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh, and ended at En Rogel.

    ⁸The border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite (also called Jerusalem) southward; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the valley of Rephaim northward.

    ⁹The border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (also called Kiriath Jearim);

    ¹⁰and the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim (also called Chesalon) on the north, and went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;

    ¹¹and the border went out to the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.

Joshua 15:9 calls Baalah Kiriath Jearim, and 1 Samuel 7:1–2 says that the men of Kiriath Jearim brought the LORD’s ark into Abinadab’s house on the hill and that it stayed in Kiriath Jearim twenty years. At 2 Samuel 6:2 both editions give the name Baale Judah. The Korean Revised Version has David go to Baale Judah (바알레유다로 가서) to bring up God’s ark from there, and WEB reads, “went with all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there God’s ark”. 2 Samuel 6 does not name Kiriath Jearim. This collection records Baale Judah apart, and does not decide whether it is Kiriath Jearim.
