Kedesh
VIEW:35 DATA:01-04-2020
KEDESH.1. A city in the south of Judah (Jos_15:23) whose site is uncertain. It is probably to be distinguished from Kadesh-barnea. 2. A city in Issachar (1Ch_6:72), where, however, Kedesh is not improbably a textual error for Kishion of the parallel passage (Jos_21:28). 3. See next article.

1. A town in Judah's extreme S. (Jos_15:23). ("sanctuary".)
2. Of Issachar, assigned to the Gershonite Levites (1Ch_6:72); Kishon in Jos_21:28 probably the better reading.
3. Kedesh Naphtali, or Kedesh in Galilee (Jos_19:37), a Levitical city of refuge assigned to the Gershonite Levites (Jos_20:7). Barak's birthplace (Jdg_4:6; Jdg_4:9-10), where he and Deborah assembled Zebulun and Naphtali as being a "holy" place, which Kedesh means. Kedesh Naphtali is now Kades at the western edge of Huleh, the marshy basin through which Jordan passes into the sea of Merom, from which Kedesh lies N.W. four miles distant. Its site is on a high ridge jutting out from the western hills, well watered, and environed by plains well cultivated and peopled. Conder (Palestine Exploration Quarterly Statement, January, 1877, p. 25) conjectures that the Kedesh to which Barak called Israel together is distinct from Kadesh (or Kedesh) Naphtali, Barak's native place.
For Kadesh Naphtali is 30 miles from Tabor, the scene of the battle, and separated by some of the most difficult country in Palestine. Probably Bezanaim was E. of Tabor, and answers to the modern Bessum. Harosheth of the Gentiles will thus be Harothiyeh. In this direction probably stood Kedesh, at the place now called Kadis, on the shore of the sea of Galilee. Taken by Tiglath Pileser (2Ki_15:29). Tell Hara, standing out prominently to the S.E., is connected by Lieut. Kitchener with Harosheth the head quarters of Sisera (Palestine Exploration Quarterly Statement, October, 1877, p. 197).

Ke'desh. (a sanctuary).
1. In the extreme south of Judah, Jos_15:23. The same as Kadesh and Kadesh-barnea.
2. A city of Issachar, allotted to the Gershonite Levites. 1Ch_6:72. The Kadesh mentioned among the cities whose kings were slain by Joshua, Jos_12:22, in company with Megiddo and Jokneam of Carmel, would seem to have been this city of Issachar.
3. Kedesh; also Kedesh in Galilee; and once, Jdg_4:6, Kedesh-naphtali, one of the fortified cities of the tribe of Naphtali, named between Hazor and Edrei, Jos_19:37, appointed as a city of refuge, and allotted with its "suburbs" to the Gershonite Levites. Jos_20:7; Jos_21:32; 1Ch_6:76. It was the residence of Barak, Jdg_4:6, and there, he and Deborah assembled the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali before the conflict, being probably, as its name implies, a "holy place" of great antiquity. It was taken by Tiglath-pileser in the reign of Pekah. 2Ki_15:29. It is identified with the village Kades, which lies four miles to the northwest of the upper part of the Sea of Merom.

Ke?desh. There were two cities of this name; one in the tribe of Judah (Jos_15:23), and the other in the tribe of Naphtali (Jos_19:37). This last was the more considerable of the two; it was a Levitical city, and one of the six cities of refuge. As the Kedesh whose king was slain by Joshua is mentioned among the cities of the north (Jos_12:22), it was doubtless the Kedesh of Naphtali, of which also Barak was a native (Jdg_4:6).

Kedesh
(Heb. id., קֶדֶשׁ, sanctuary; Sept. Κέδες, but Κάδες in Jos_21:32; Κάδης in Jdg_4:6, v. r. 9: Κεδεέ v. r. in 1Ch_6:72), the name of three towns in Palestine.
1. A city in the extreme southern part of the territory originally assigned to Judah (Jos_15:23, where it is mentioned between Adadah and Hazor), and doubtless included in the portion afterwards set off to Simeon (Jos_19:1-9). As the associated places seem to indicate a position towards the Dead Sea, we may conjecture that it was the same as KADESH-BARNEA (the names being the same in Heb.), which lay there, and is not mentioned in either of the foregoing lists, although it certainly was included within the district indicated.
2. A Levitical city of the tribe of Issachar (1Ch_6:72), otherwise called KISION (Jos_19:20; "Kishon," 21:28).
3. A "fenced city" of Naphtali (Jos_19:37, where it is mentioned between Hazor and Edrei), hence also called KEDESH-NAPHTALI (i.e. Kadesh of Naphtali, Jdg_4:6); appointed as one of the cities of refuge (Jos_19:7, where it is located on Mt. Naphtali), being a Levitical city assigned to the Geshonites (Jos_21:32; 1Ch_6:76). It was one of the original Canaanitish royal cities, whose chieftains were slain by Joshua (Jos_12:22). and was reckoned as a Galilsean town (Jos_19:7; Jos_21:32; 1Ch_6:76). It was the residence of Barak (Jdg_4:6), and there he and Deborah assembled the tribes of Zebulon and Naphtali before the conflict (Jdg_4:9-10). Near it was the tree of Zaananim, where was pitched the tent of the Kenites Heber and Jael, in which Sisera met his death (Jdg_4:11). It was probably as its name implies, a "holy place" of great antiquity, which would explain its selection as one of the cities of refuge; and its being chosen by the prophetess as the spot at which to meet the warriors of the tribes before the commencement of the struggle " for Jehovah among the mighty." It was one of the places depopulated by Tiglath-pileser (2Ki_15:29). Josephus calls it Kedesa (ἡ Κέδεσα, Ant. 5:1, 18, and 24) or Cydisa (Ant. 9, 11, 1), and places it under the name of Cedasa (Κεδάσα), on the border between Galilee and Tyre (Ant. 13:5, 6), to the latter of which it adhered in' the final struggle (War, 3, 18, 1).
It was here that Jonathan the Maccabee gained the victory over the princes of Demetrius (Κάδης, 1Ma_11:63; 1Ma_11:73). It is probably the same with the Cydis (Κύδις ἡ Νεφθαλί) mentioned as the birthplace of Tobit (i, 1). Eusebius (Ononzast. s.v. Κεδές) mentions it by the name of Cydossos (Κυδοσσός, Jerome Cidissus), as lying in the neighborhood .of Paneas, about 20 Roman miles from Tyre. It is also probably the same with the strongly-fortified place in this district called Cydyssi by Josephus (Κυδυσσοί, War, 4:2, 3). Kedesh was situated near the "plain" of Zaanaim, on. the route taken by Barak (who was a native 'of the place) in the pursuit of Sisera, and hence must have been beyond Mt. Tabor, in the direction from the Kishon (Jdg_4:6; Jdg_4:9-11). The indications correspond very well to the position of the modern village of Kedes, discovered by Dr. Robinson on the hills west of the lake el-Huleh (Researches, 3:355; Biblibtheca Sacra, 1843, p. 11). and fully described by Rev. E. Smith (Bibl. Sac. 1849, p. 374, 375) as being a small place romantically situated on a hill in a rich and beautiful plain,- abundantly supplied with water, and containing extensive ruins apparently of Roman origin (see also Robinson's Researches, new edit., 3:366-369; Van de Velde, Narrative, ii, 417). From the 12th century (Benj. of Tudela, in Bohl's Early Travels, p. 89) it has been reputed to possess the graves of Deborah, Barak, Ahinoam, Jael, and Heber (Schwarz, Palest. p. 183; comp. p. 91). Porter, in 1858, saw close by the site the black tents of nomads pitched under the terebinths (Handbook for Palest. p. 443), like those of Heber the Kenite (Jdg_4:11.).
"In the Greek (Κυδίως) and Syriac (Kedesh de Naphtali) texts 'of Tob_1:2 though not in the Vilgate or A.V. Kedesh is introduced as the birthplace of Tobias. The text is exceedingly corrupt, but some little support is lent to this reading by the Vulgate, which, although omitting Kedesh, mentions Safed-post viam quae ducit ad .Occidentem, in sinistro habens civitatem Saphet.
"The name Kedesh exists much farther north than the possessions of Naphtali would appear to have extended, attached to a lake of considerable size on the Orontes, a few miles south of Hums, the ancient Emessa (Thomson, in Ritter, Damascus, p. 1002 sq.). The lake was well known under that name to the Arabic geographers (see, besides the authorities quoted by Robinson [iii, 594, new ed.], Abulfeda in Schultenis's Index Geogr., 'Fluvius Orontes,' and 'Kudsum'), aid they connect it in part with Alexander the Great. But this and the origin of the name are alike uncertain. At the lower end of the lake is an island which, as already remarked, is possibly the site of Ketesh, the capture of which by Sethos I is preserved in the records of that Egyptian king" (Smith).
