Its exact location is uncertain, but it is believed to be in the southern part of Judah's inheritance, possibly near the Negev desert. The name "Kinah" may be related to the Kenites, a nomadic tribe that had friendly relations with Israel (<a href="/judges/1-16.htm">Judges 1:16</a>). The Kenites were descendants of Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, and their presence in the region highlights the diverse groups that coexisted in ancient Israel. This city, like others in the list, underscores the fulfillment of God's promise to give the land to the descendants of Abraham.<p><b>Dimonah</b><br>Dimonah is another city within the territory of Judah. Its precise location is not definitively known today, but it is thought to be in the arid southern region. The mention of Dimonah, along with other cities, reflects the comprehensive nature of the land distribution among the tribes of Israel. This allocation was crucial for establishing the nation of Israel in the Promised Land. The listing of cities like Dimonah serves as a historical record of Israel's settlement and God's faithfulness in providing for His people.<p><b>Adadah</b><br>Adadah is included in the list of cities in the southern part of Judah's territory. The location of Adadah is also not clearly identified in modern times, but it is part of the broader narrative of the Israelites taking possession of the land. The inclusion of Adadah in the biblical record emphasizes the detailed nature of the land allotment process. Each city represents a piece of the inheritance promised to the tribes, highlighting the importance of land in the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The mention of these cities collectively points to the fulfillment of God's promises and the establishment of Israel as a nation in the land He had sworn to give them.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/kinah.htm">Kinah</a></b><br>A town listed among the cities in the southern part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah.
