The town of Shaveh Kiriathaim is where one of the first Biblical battles took place.

Many years later Moses and the Israelites took the city from the Amorites. It became part of the tribe of Reuben's inheritance in the Promised Land.
Another village named Kirjathaim (Kiriathaim) became a Levitical city within the tribe of Napthali's territory.

Korah was the leader of a rebellion that wanted the same responsibilities as Moses and Aaron. God punished him and those involved with death through the earth miraculously swallowing them up!
Amazingly, even after the Israelites witnessed what took place, many in the congregation continued to complain about the two leaders. God's judgment was swift, as he sent a plague among the people that killed another 14,700 rebels.
The sons of Korah are credited with writing at least eleven Psalms.
