From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Kareah       bald, the father of Johanan and Jonathan, who for a time were       loyal to Gedaliah, the Babylonian governor of Jerusalem (Jer.       40:8, 13, 15, 16).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Kir       a wall or fortress, a place to which Tiglath-pileser carried the       Syrians captive after he had taken the city of Damascus (2 Kings       16:9; Amos 1:5; 9:7). Isaiah (22:6), who also was contemporary       with these events, mentions it along with Elam. Some have       supposed that Kir is a variant of Cush (Susiana), on the south       of Elam.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Korah       ice, hail. (1.) The third son of Esau, by Aholibamah (Gen.       36:14; 1 Chr. 1:35).                (2.) A Levite, the son of Izhar, the brother of Amram, the       father of Moses and Aaron (Ex. 6:21). The institution of the       Aaronic priesthood and the Levitical service at Sinai was a       great religious revolution. The old priesthood of the heads of       families passed away. This gave rise to murmurings and       discontent, while the Israelites were encamped at Kadesh for the       first time, which came to a head in a rebellion against Moses       and Aaron, headed by Korah, Dathan, and Abiram. Two hundred and       fifty princes, "men of renown" i.e., well-known men from among       the other tribes, joined this conspiracy. The whole company       demanded of Moses and Aaron that the old state of things should       be restored, alleging that "they took too much upon them" (Num.       16:1-3). On the morning after the outbreak, Korah and his       associates presented themselves at the door of the tabernacle,       and "took every man his censer, and put fire in them, and laid       incense thereon." But immediately "fire from the Lord" burst       forth and destroyed them all (Num. 16:35). Dathan and Abiram       "came out and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives,       and their sons, and their little children," and it came to pass       "that the ground clave asunder that was under them; and the       earth opened her mouth and swallowed them up." A plague       thereafter began among the people who sympathized in the       rebellion, and was only stayed by Aaron's appearing between the       living and the dead, and making "an atonement for the people"       (16:47).                The descendants of the sons of Korah who did not participate       in the rebellion afterwards rose to eminence in the Levitical       service.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Kore       partridge. (1.) A Levite and temple-warder of the Korahites, the       son of Asaph. He was father of Shallum and Meshelemiah,       temple-porters (1 Chr. 9:19; 26:1).                (2.) A Levitical porter at the east gate of the temple (2 Chr.       31:14).                (3.) In 1 Chr. 26:19 the word should be "Korahites," as in the       Revised Version.
