Kir-Haraseth: A City of Moab

Source: Nav

2 Kings 3:25 They destroyed the cities, and each man threw stones on every good field until it was covered. They stopped up every spring and cut down every good tree. Only Kir-haraseth was left with stones in place, but men with slings surrounded it and attacked it as well.
Isaiah 16:7, 11 Therefore let Moab wail; let them wail together for Moab. Moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth, you who are utterly stricken. / Therefore my heart laments for Moab like a harp, my inmost being for Kir-heres.
Jeremiah 48:31, 36 Therefore I will wail for Moab; I will cry out for all of Moab; I will moan for the men of Kir-heres. / Therefore My heart laments like a flute for Moab; it laments like a flute for the men of Kir-heres, because the wealth they acquired has perished.
