KEDESH-NAPHTALI (Jdg 4:6; called also Kedesh Jos 12:22; Jos 19:37, Jdg 4:9-11, 2Ki 15:29; and Kedesh in Galilee in Jos 20:7; Jos 21:32, 1Ch 6:76).Evidently, from the name meaning holy, a sacred site from ancient times; a city of refuge (Jos 20:7) and a Levitical city (Jos 21:32). It was the home of Barak (Jdg 4:6). It was captured by Tiglath-pileser (2Ki 15:29) in the reign of Pekah.
The site is the village of Kedes, one of the most picturesque spots in Galilee; to the E. of the village the ground is strewn with ancient remains. There are several fine sarcophagi and the ruins of a large building, possibly once a Roman temple.
