In ch. Joshua 12:22, Jokneam is said to have been by Carmel, and is identified with the modern Tell Kaimon, an eminence which stands just below the eastern end of Carmel. "The stream," therefore, is in all probability the Kishon("twisted" or "winding"), famous (a) in the history of Deborah and Barak (Judges 4:7; Judges 4:13; Judges 5:21), and (b) in that of Elijah and the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:40).
