It is often identified with modern-day Tell Qades. Kedesh was designated as a city of refuge (<a href="/joshua/20-7.htm">Joshua 20:7</a>), which provided asylum for those who accidentally committed manslaughter. This highlights the city's importance in the judicial and religious life of Israel. The mention of the "king of Kedesh" signifies the conquest of this area by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership, fulfilling God's promise to give them the land of Canaan. The singular "one" indicates the specific defeat of this king, emphasizing the thoroughness of Israel's conquest. Kedesh's role as a city of refuge can be seen as a type of Christ, who provides refuge and salvation for sinners.<p><b>the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;</b><br>Jokneam was a city located near Mount Carmel, a significant geographical landmark in Israel. The Carmel region was known for its fertility and beauty, often associated with lush vegetation and vineyards. The city of Jokneam was later assigned to the tribe of Zebulun (<a href="/joshua/19-11.htm">Joshua 19:11</a>) and given to the Levites (<a href="/joshua/21-34.htm">Joshua 21:34</a>). The defeat of the "king of Jokneam" underscores the strategic victories achieved by the Israelites in securing key locations throughout Canaan. The reference to "one" again highlights the individual defeat of this king, contributing to the comprehensive list of conquered kings in <a href="/joshua/12.htm">Joshua 12</a>. Mount Carmel would later become the site of Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18), symbolizing God's power and sovereignty over false gods.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/k/king_of_kedesh.htm">King of Kedesh</a></b><br>Kedesh was a city of refuge in the territory of Naphtali.

It has been identified by explorers, from Robinson downwards, with Tell-el-Kaimun, on the southern slopes of Mount Carmel. It is the Cammona, or Cimana, of the Onomasticon, the "Cyamon over against Esdraelon" of Judith 7:3. It was a Levitical city (<a href="/joshua/21-34.htm">Joshua 21:34</a>), but in the list in <a href="/1_chronicles/6.htm">1 Chronicles 6</a>. we miss it in its proper place, and find it taking the place of Kibzaim in Ephraim. But, as the margin of our version remarks in the latter chapter (ver. 68), the names of the cities in the two lists very frequently do not correspond. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/joshua/12-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">the king</span><br /><span class="heb">מֶ֤לֶךְ</span> <span class="translit">(me·leḵ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> </span><span class="str2">A king</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Kedesh,</span><br /><span class="heb">קֶ֙דֶשׁ֙</span> <span class="translit">(qe·ḏeš)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6943.htm">Strong's 6943: </a> </span><span class="str2">Kedesh -- 'sanctuary', the name of several places in Israel</span><br /><br /><span class="word">one;</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶחָ֔ד</span> <span class="translit">(’e·ḥāḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_259.htm">Strong's 259: </a> </span><span class="str2">United, one, first</span><br /><br /><span class="word">the king</span><br /><span class="heb">מֶֽלֶךְ־</span> <span class="translit">(me·leḵ-)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - masculine singular construct<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4428.htm">Strong's 4428: </a> </span><span class="str2">A king</span><br /><br /><span class="word">of Jokneam</span><br /><span class="heb">יָקְנֳעָ֥ם</span> <span class="translit">(yā·qə·no·‘ām)</span><br /><span class="parse">Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3362.htm">Strong's 3362: </a> </span><span class="str2">Jokneam -- a city of Canaan</span><br /><br /><span class="word">in Carmel,</span><br /><span class="heb">לַכַּרְמֶ֖ל</span> <span class="translit">(lak·kar·mel)</span><br /><span class="parse">Preposition-l, Article | Noun - proper - feminine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3760.htm">Strong's 3760: </a> </span><span class="str2">Carmel -- a mountain promontory on the Mediterranean, also a city near Hebron</span><br /><br /><span class="word">one;</span><br /><span class="heb">אֶחָֽד׃</span> <span class="translit">(’e·ḥāḏ)</span><br /><span class="parse">Number - masculine singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_259.htm">Strong's 259: </a> </span><span class="str2">United, one, first</span><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="//bibleapps.com/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 BibleApps.com</a><br /><a href="//bibliaparalela.com/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="//holybible.com.cn/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="//saintebible.com/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 French Bible</a><br /><a href="/catholic/joshua/12-22.htm">Joshua 12:22 Catholic Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/joshua/12-22.htm">OT History: Joshua 12:22 The king of Kedesh one (Josh.
