KISHION.A town allotted to Issachar (Jos_19:20), given to the Levites (Jos_21:28). The parallel passage, 1Ch_6:72, reads Kedesh, which is perhaps a textual error for Kishion. The latter name has not been recovered.

Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863
kish?i-on, kish?yon (קשׁיון, ḳishyōn): A city in the territory of Issachar (Jos_19:20), given to the Gershonite Levites (Jos_21:28; the King James Version wrongly ?Kishon?). The parallel passage in 1Ch_6:72 reads ?Kedesh? instead of ?Kishion.? The true reading is probably קדשׁיון, ḳidhshōn. Conder suggests a likely identification with Tell Abū Ḳedes, not far from Taanach.
