(Heb. with the art. has-Sirah/', הִסַּרָה , the turning [perhaps, as Filrst suggests, from a khan in the vicinity]; Sept. ὁ Σειράμ; Vulg. Sira), a well (בֹּר; Sept. φρεάρ; Vulg. cistern) marking the spot from which Abner was recalled by Joab to his death at Hebron (2 Samuel 3:26). It was apparently on the northern road from Hebron that by which Abner would naturally return through Bahurim (2 Samuel 3:16) to Mahanaim. There is a spring and reservoir on the western side of the ancient northern road, about one mile out of Hebron, which is called Ain Sara, and gives its name to the little valley in which it lies (see Dr. Rosen's paper On Hebron in the Zeitschrift der deutschen morgentl. Gesellschaft, 12, 486, and the excellent map accompanying it). This may be a relic of the well of Sirah.
