SHAVEH-KIRIATHAIM shā’ və kĭr’ ĭə thā’ əm (שָׁוֵ֖ה קִרְיָתָֽיִם, plain of Kiriathaim, i.e. “Twin cities”). The place where Chedorlaomer defeated the Emim (Gen 14:5). Apparently it was a plain in the environs of Kiriathaim, a city originally in Reubenite territory, which later came under Moabite control. Kiriathaim was c. six m. from Dibon and is identified by many with the modern el-Qereiyat.
