kā´rem ( Καρέμ , Karém ): A city of Judah interpolated by the Septuagint (Joshua 15:59 ). Probably Beth-Haccherem (which see).

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [2]

(Καρέμ ), one of the additional group of eleven cities of Judah (q.v.) interpolated by the Septuagint at Joshua 15:59, and thought to be the present village Ain Karim, about 1½ hour west of Jerusalem (Wilson, Lands of Bible, 2:268; Schwarz, Palest. p. 96, 108; Robinson, Later Bib. Res. p. 367-9), but the position agrees better with that of BETH- HACCEREM (See Beth-Haccerem) (q.v.).
