Kartan
Kartan
(Heb. Kartan’, , double city, an old dual from ; Sept. v. r. and ), a town of Naphtali, assigned to the Gershonite Levites, and appointed to be one of the cities of refuge (Jos 21:32). In the parallel passage (1Ch 6:76) it is called by the equivalent name of KIRJATHAIM. The associated names suggest the probability of some locality near the north-western shore of the Sea of Tiberias, perhaps the ruined village marked as el-Katanah on Van de Velde’s map, on wady Furam, about midway between Lake Tiberias and the Huleh.

Kartan (2)
The site which we have proposed for this is marked as Khan Katanah, four and a half miles north of Safed, on the Map of the Ordnance Survey, but is not described in the accompanying Memoirs. Tristram suggests (Bible Places, page 274) a trace of the name in Wady Kerkerah, which he vaguely describes as “running down to the sea.”

Kartan
kartan (, kartan): A city in the territory of Naphtali, given to the Gershonite Levites (Jos 21:32). It is called Kiriathaim in 1Ch 6:76. Kartan may be a contraction of this. Cheyne (EB, under the word) suggests that both names may be corruptions from Chinnereth. Neither is mentioned in Jos 19:32, Jos 19:38, in the list of Naphtalite cities, while Chinnereth is.
