Tires

“To tire” the head is to adorn it (2 Kings 9:30). As a noun the word is derived from “tiara,” and is the rendering of the Heb. p’er, a “turban” or an ornament for the head (Ezek. 24:17; R.V., “headtire;” 24:23). In Isa. 3:18 the word saharonim is rendered “round tires like the moon,” and in Judg. 8:21, 26 “ornaments,” but in both cases “crescents” in the Revised Version.

TIRES. This generally denotes an ornamental head-dress, but it may mean other parts of the attire; and in Isa 3:18 the original probably signifies a necklace, the parts of which might have resembled the moon in shape.
