zā´ir ( צעיר , cā‛ı̄r ; Ζειώρ , Zeiṓr ): When he invaded Edom, we are told that Joram passed over to Zair and all his chariots with him ( 2 Kings 8:21 ). In the parallel passage ( 2 Chronicles 21:9 ), "with his captains" ( שׂריו עם , ‛ı̄m sārāyw ) takes the place of "to Zair" ( צעירה , cā‛ı̄rāh ), probably a copyist's corruption. The place has not been identified. Some have thought that Mt. Seir is intended; others that it means the town of Zoar. Conder suggested ez - Zuweirah , Southeast of the Dead Sea. If Zoar lay in this direction, it is the way by which an invading army might enter Edom.
