SCRIPTURE

"and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan," — Joshua 15:23 (ASV)

And Kedesh
The first of these cities seems to be Kadeshbarnea, which was to the south of the land, and on the borders of Edom, from where the spies were sent, (Numbers 32:8);

and Hazor
is another city from that which is mentioned, (Joshua 11:1) ; and was in the tribe of Naphtali;

and Ithnan ,
which Jerom F3 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.
