Zair

사일

Named at 2 Kings 8:21: “Then Joram crossed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who surrounded him with the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.” 8:20 says that in his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. The Korean Revised Version names Jehoram at 8:20 and 8:21 (여호람 때에; 여호람이 모든 병거를 거느리고 사일로 갔더니, Jehoram went to Zair with all the chariots), where WEB reads “In his days” and “Joram crossed over to Zair”.

Names in the World English Bible text that carry this entry’s tag. They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
