Where is Kishion in the Bible?
Kishion was a Levitical city located in the territory of Issachar in ancient Israel, as recorded in Joshua 19:20 and 21:28. The city is also referred to as Kedesh in some biblical passages, particularly in 1 Chronicles 6:72, though scholars debate the precise original spelling. As a Levitical city, Kishion served as a designated settlement for the priests and Levites who served in Israel's religious life. The most likely archaeological identification places Kishion at Tell Abu Kedes, located in northern Palestine not far from the city of Taanach.
