22. Kedesh — This city is commonly called Kedesh-Naphtali, because it was in the territory of that tribe. It was both a city of refuge (Jos_20:7) and a Levitical city. Jos_21:32. Hence, as the name indicates, it was the holy place of Naphtali, a sanctuary and asylum for all Northern Palestine. Here the tribes assembled, at the call of Barak, to war with Jabin’s hosts. Jdg_4:10. From its exposed position on the northern frontier it was among the first to fall into the hands of the Assyrian invaders. 2Ki_15:29. Its ruins, still bearing the name Kedes, lie on the top and slopes of a round hill in a little plain among the mountains a few miles northwest of Lake Merom.] Jokneam was also a Levitical city in the tribe of Zebulun, (Jos_19:11; Jos_21:34,) and was identified by Robinson with Tell Kaimon, an eminence close to the northern base of Mount Carmel, and on the south bank of the Kishon, a mile from the river. On Carmel, see note on Jos_19:26.

Carmel] = “the park,” or “the well-wooded place,” almost always with the definite article. Rightly does it bear its name, being covered below with laurels and olive trees, above with pines and oaks, and full of the most beautiful flowers, “hollyhocks, jasmine, and various flowering creepers.” It is famous for its connection with the history of the two great prophets Elijah and Elisha (1Ki_18:19-20; 1Ki_18:42; 2Ki_2:25; 2Ki_4:25; 2Ki_19:23; Isa_33:9; Isa_35:2).

Kedesh, i.e. , Kedesh-Napbtali. (see Jos_19:7) Jokneam of Carmel. This city is mentioned as one of the cities of purveyance to Solomon"s court, (1Ki_4:12) with Beth-shean, Taanach, and Megiddo. It has been identified by explorers, from Robinson downwards, with Tell-el-Kaimun, on the southern slopes of Mount Carmel. It is the Cammona, or Cimana, of the Onomasticon, the "Cyamon over against Esdraelon" of RAPC Jdt 7:3. It was a Levitical city, (Jos_21:34) but in the list in 1Ch 6 we miss it in its proper place, and find it taking the place of Kibzaim in Ephraim. But, as the margin of our version remarks in the latter chapter (ver. 68), the names of the cities in the two lists very frequently do not correspond.
