It is often associated with darkness or mourning, likely due to its etymological roots and its historical use as a place of burial and disposal of impurities.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Kidron Valley holds significant historical and religious importance in the Bible. It served as a boundary marker and a site for various events in Israel's history. The valley was used as a burial ground and a place where idols and other impurities were destroyed, symbolizing purification and judgment. Its proximity to Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives made it a notable geographical feature in biblical narratives.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6937.htm">qadar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps "dusky," a wadi E. of Jer.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Kidron (11).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">קִדְרוֺן</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>of wady just east of Jerusalem</b></font> (Thes. <em>turbidus</em>); — <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">נַחַל ק</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/15-23.htm">2 Samuel 15:23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/2-37.htm">1 Kings 2:37</a>; usually as place for refuse <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/15-13.htm">1 Kings 15:13</a> 2Chronicles 15:16; <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/23-6.htm">2 Kings 23:6</a> (twice in verse); <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/23-12.htm">2 Kings 23:12</a>; 2Chronicles 29:16; 30:14; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/31-40.htm">Jeremiah 31:40</a>; so <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">שַׁדְמוֺת ק</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_kings/23-4.htm">2 Kings 23:4</a>; <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Κεδρων</font>; compare Rob<sup>Phys.
