Kedesh or Kedesh Naphtali(=" the Holy Place of Naphtali"), see above, ch. Joshua 12:22, originally, as we have seen, was a royal, and probably a sacred city of the Canaanites. It was conquered by Joshua (ch. Joshua 12:22), and made subsequently "a city of refuge." Here (a) Barak was born; here (b) he was when Deborah summoned him to fight the battle of his country; hither (c) the prophetess came with him; and hence (d) having rallied the warriors of Zebulun and Naphtali he marched with 10000 men to Tabor (Judges 4:1-10).

Edrei, and En-hazor are unknown. This Edrei must not be confounded with the well-known Edrei in Bashan.
