Joshua 12:22

Kedesh , i.e; Kedesh-Napbtali (see Joshua 19:7 ). Jokneam of Carmel. This city is mentioned as one of the cities of purveyance to Solomon's court ( 1 Kings 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 Judith 7:3. It was a Levitical city ( Joshua 21:34 ), but in the list in Chronicles 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 (verse 68), the names of the cities in the two lists very frequently do not correspond.
