KISHION

kish'-i-on, kish'-yon (qishyon): A city in the territory of Issachar (Joshua 19:20), given to the Gershonite Levites (Joshua 21:28; the King James Version wrongly "Kishon"). The parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 6:72 reads "Kedesh" instead of "Kishion." The true reading is probably qidhshon. Conder suggests a likely identification with Tell Abu Kedes, not far from Taanach.
