Subjects in this Topic:

kish´i-on, kish´yon (קשׁיון, ḳishyōn): A city in the territory of Issachar (), given to the Gershonite Levites (; the King James Version wrongly “Kishon”). The parallel passage in 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.
