From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Kirjath-huzoth
     city of streets, Num. 22:39, a Moabite city, which some identify
     with Kirjathaim. Balak here received and entertained Balaam,
     whom he had invited from Pethor, among the "mountains of the
     east," beyond the Euphrates, to lay his ban upon the Israelites,
     whose progress he had no hope otherwise of arresting. It was


     probably from the summit of Attarus, the high place near the
     city, that the soothsayer first saw the encampments of Israel.
