Zair
VIEW:18 DATA:01-04-2020
ZAIR.According to the MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] of 2Ki_8:21, Joram, in the course of his campaign against Edom, passed over to Zair. In the parallel passage, 2Ch_21:9, the Heb. is passed over with his princes, which may be confidently pronounced to be a corruption of the text in Kings. The latter itself is unfortunately not certainso that the identification of the place in question is impossible.

("little".) 2Ki_8:21. A place in Idumea where Joram defeated Edom after having been first shut in, then cutting his way through; 2Ch_21:9, omit Zair and have instead im saraio, "with his captains."

Za'ir. (small). A place named in 2Ki_8:21 only, in the account of Joram's expedition against the Edomites. It has been conjectured that Zair is identical with Zoar.

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 (2Ki_8:21). In the parallel passage (2Ch_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.

(Heb. Tsair', צָעַיר, small, as often; Sept. Σιώρ; Vulg. SeirCa), a place named in 2Ki_8:21, in the account of Joram's expedition against the Edomites, as one to which he went with all his chariots. There he and his force appear to have been surrounded, and only to have escaped by cutting their way through in the night. This is not, however, the interpretation of the Jewish commentators, who take the word הִסֹּבֵיבto refer to the neighboring parts of the country of Edom (see Rashi, On 2Ch_21:9).
The parallel account in Chronicles (2Ch_21:9) agrees with this, except that the words to Zair are omitted, and the words with his princes inserted. This is followed by Josephus (Ant. 9:5, 1). The omitted and inserted words have a certain similarity both in sound and in their component letters, צָעַירָהand עַםִשָׂרָיו; and on this it has been conjectured that the latter were substituted for the former either by' the error of a copyist or intentionally, because the name Zair was not elsewhere known (see Keil, Comment. on 2Ki_8:21). Others, again, as Movers (Chronik, p. 218) and Ewald (Gesch. 3, 524), suggest that Zair is identical with Zoar ( צערor צוער). Certainly in the Middle Ages the road by which an army passed from Judea to the country formerly occupied bit Eldom lay through the place which was then believed to be Zoar, below Kerak, at the south-east quarter of the Dead Sea (Fulcher, Gesta Dei, p. 405), and so far this is in favor of the identification; but there is no other support to it in the MS. readings either of the original or the versions. A third conjecture, grounded on the readings of the Vulg. (Seira) and the Arab. version (Sa'i'), is that Zair is an alteration for Seir (שעיר), the country itself of the Edomites (Thenius, Kurzgef. exeget. Handb.). The objection to this is that the name of Seir appears not to have been knovwn. to the author of the book of Kings,
