What is Debir?
DE'BIR
(sanctuary), the name of three places. 1. In the highlands of Judah, near Hebron; captured by Joshua, Josh 10:38-39; was first called Kirjath-sepher, Josh 15:15, and Kirjath-sannah, Josh 15:49; was allotted to the priests. Josh 21:15. It has been placed at Dewir-ban, 3 miles west of Hebron, and at Dilbeh, 6 miles south-west. Conder, however, rejects these, and suggests Dedheriyeh, north of which are copious springs, which he identifies with "the upper springs and the nether springs" of Jud 1:15. 1. A place near the valley of Achor, Josh 15:7; perhaps Wady Dabir, between Jericho and Jerusalem. 2. A place on the boundary of Gad, east of the Jordan, Josh 13:26; possibly the same as Lo-bebar, which see.
