And Kedesh,.... This is Kedesh in Galilee, in Mount Naphtali, to distinguish it from others of the same name; it was one of the cities of refuge, Jos 20:7. Jerom says (m) in his day it was called Cidissus, and was twenty miles from Tyre by Paneas; See Gill on Jos 12:22. and Edrei is a different place from one of that name in the kingdom of Og, Num 21:33, and Enhazor, of which we read nowhere else. (m) Ut supra, (De loc. Heb.) fol. 90. B.
