Ancient Village or Settlement
Tel Kadesh (near Lebanon's border), was a consecutively populated site situated in the centre of the mountainous upper Galil for 5,500 years. Originally it was the city of Cana'an that turned to an Israel fortress and is located in the property of Naftali (zs'l). (יהושע יב, כב; יט, לז).
It was also one of the 6 cities to turn into Cities of Refuge in Eretz Israel. The Cities of Refuge were towns during the Kingdom of Israel and Kingdom of Judah at which the perpetrators of manslaughter could claim the right of asylum. According to the Talmud Bavli (מכות ט, ב – י, ב), the city of refuge, Kadesh in the upper Galil, was situated opposite the Golan Heights, and there were specific paths leading to Kadesh, with signs, to ease the perpetrator of manslaughter to arrive safely.
Contradictory to what was thought in the past, Kadesh was not the place of residency of Barak ben Avinoam, zs'l. Agreed by most researchers, the city where Barak ben Avinoam lives was in the lower Galil, south of Tiberias (nearby Mount Tabor, where the war against Sisra took place).
Kadesh in the upper Galil was one of the cities captured by King Tiglath-Pileser III. He overran Israel, and deported the inhabitants to Assyria. Tiglath Pileser III was succeeded by his son Shalmaneser V, whom exiled the lost 10 tribes.
