kid´ro (ΚεδÏωÌν, KedroÌ„Ìn; the King James Version Cedron): A place which, in obedience to Antiochus Sidetes, Cendebaeus fortified (1 Macc 15:39 ff), to which, when defeated, he fled, hotly pursued by John and Judas, sons of Simon the Maccabee, who burned the city (1 Macc 16:4 ff). It is named along with Jamnia (Yebna) and Azotus (EsduÌ„d). It is possibly identical with kÌ£atÌ£rah, a village about 3 miles Southwest of ‛akÌ£ir (Ekron).
