HEADTIRE, TIRE . The former is found in AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , as one word, only Esther 3:6 Esther 3:6 , for the kidaris , the stiff upright headdress of the Persian kings. In RV [Note: Revised Version.] headtire supplants AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ’s bonnet (wh. see). ‘The tire of thine head’ of Ezekiel 24:17 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] becomes in RV [Note: Revised Version.] ‘thy headtire,’ but ‘tires’ is retained in Ezekiel 24:23 . For the ‘round tires like the moon’ of Isaiah 3:18 AV [Note: Authorized Version.] , the crescents of RV [Note: Revised Version.] , see Ornaments, and for the Hebrew headgear generally, see Dress, § 5 .
