ZAIR zā’ ər (Heb. צָעִ֔יר, prob. narrow place), a topological name derived from Heb. צָעַר, H7592, be narrow. It is mentioned only in 2 Kings 8:21, as the scene of the battle between Judah and its rebellious subject, Edom. Joram led his troops against the Edomite king and won the battle but permitted so many to escape that Edom was never again subjugated. The identification of this valley has never been proven, but the LXX rendering, Gr. Σειωρ, has been taken as an ancient form of modern Si’ir. The term is so imprecise, referring only to the width or circumference of the place, that a detailed location is so far impossible.
