Kedesh (a sanctuary). 1. In the extreme south of Judah, Jos 15:23 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, Jud 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; 21:32; 1Ch 6:76 It was the residence of Barak, Jud 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. |
