Joshua 19:37

“And Kedesh, etc.] This is Kedesh in Galilee, in Mount Naphtali, to distinguish it from others of the same name; it was one of the cities of refuge, (<062007>Joshua 20:7). Jerom says f483 in his day it was called Cidissus, and was twenty miles from Tyre by Paneas; (see Gill on “<061222>Joshua 12:22”). and Edrei is a different place from one of that name in the kingdom of Og, (<042133>Numbers 21:33); and Enhazor, of which we read nowhere else.”

“The number of the fortified cities of Naphtali is remarkable, though it does not tally with the catalogue. It was no doubt good policy to protect the northern frontier by a belt of fortresses, as the south was protected by the fenced cities of Judah. Hammath, a Levitical city (compare Joshua 21:32; 1 Chronicles 6:76), is not to be confounded with the Hamath on the northeastern frontier of the land Numbers 13:21. The name (from a root signifying “to be warm”) probably indicates that hot springs existed here; and is perhaps rightly traced in Ammaus, near Tiberias. Rakkath was, according to the rabbis, rebuilt by Herod and called Tiberias. The name (“bank, shore”) suits the site of Tiberias…”
