It is a valley situated on the eastern side of Jerusalem, between the city and the Mount of Olives. The Kidron Valley is often associated with moments of transition, judgment, and refuge in the biblical text.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Kidron Valley holds considerable historical and religious significance. In ancient times, it served as a boundary and a place of burial. It was also a site where idolatrous objects were destroyed during religious reforms (2 Kings 23:4, 6, 12). The valley's proximity to Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives made it a frequent route for travelers and pilgrims. In the New Testament, it is notably mentioned in connection with Jesus' journey to the Garden of Gethsemane.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of Hebrew origin <a href="/hebrew/6939.htm">Qidron</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>Kidron, a brook and wadi near Jer.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Kidron (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2748: κέδρος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">κέδρος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">κέδρου</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (from <span class="abbreviation">Homer</span> down), <span class="accented">a cedar,</span> a well-known tree, the wood of which is fragrant: <span class="greek2">χείμαρρος</span> <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">κέδρων</span>, <a href="/interlinear/john/18-1.htm">John 18:1</a> <span class="manuref">R</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> text <span class="manuref">WH</span> (so also <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/15-23.htm">2 Samuel 15:23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/15-13.htm">1 Kings 15:13</a> (cf. 2:37)); <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> (sic) <span class="greek2">κέδρου</span>, ibid. <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span>; but see the following word.<FOOTNOTE:1> <p><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 2748: Κεδρών</span><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Κεδρών</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 21 (19)), indeclinable (in <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, <span class="greek2">Κεδρών</span>, <span class="greek2">Κεδρωνος</span> (see below)), <span class="accented">Cedron</span> (or Kidron) (Hebrew <span class="hebrew">קִדְרון</span> i. e. dark, turbid), the name of a (winter-) torrent, rising near Jerusalem and flowing down through a valley of the same name (having the Matt. of Olives on the E.) into the Dead Sea: <span class="greek2">χείμαρρος</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Κεδρών</span>, <a href="/interlinear/john/18-1.htm">John 18:1</a> <span class="manuref">G</span> <span class="manuref">L</span> <span class="manuref">Tr</span> marginal reading, according to the more correct reading (but see <span class="manuref">WH</span>'s Appendix, at the passage); (<span class="greek2">χείμαρρος</span> <span class="greek2">Κεδρωνος</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Josephus</span>, Antiquities 8, 1, 5; <span class="greek2">φάραγξ</span> <span class="greek2">Κεδρωνος</span>, ibid. 9, 7, 3; <span class="abbreviation">b. j.</span> 5, 6, 1; <span class="greek2">φάραγγι</span>, <span class="greek2">βαθεῖα</span> ... <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">Κεδρών</span> <span class="greek2">ὠνομασται</span>, ibid. 5, 2, 3).
