And Kedesh, etc.] The first of these cities seems to be Kadeshbarnea, which was to the south of the land, and on the borders of Edom, from whence the spies were sent, (<043208>Numbers 32:8); and Hazor is another city from that which is mentioned, (<061101>Joshua 11:1); and was in the tribe of Naphtali; and Ithnan, which Jerom f325 calls Jedna, was, according to him, six miles from Eleutheropolis, as you go to Hebron; the Greek version joins this and the former city together, and makes them one.
