 Kir
    a wall or fortress, a place to which Tiglath-pileser carried the
    Syrians captive after he had taken the city of Damascus (2 Kings
    16:9; Amos 1:5; 9:7). Isaiah (22:6), who also was contemporary
    with these events, mentions it along with Elam. Some have
    supposed that Kir is a variant of Cush (Susiana), on the south
    of Elam.
