Smith's Bible Dictionary [1]

Kit'ron. (Knotty). One of the towns from which Zubulun did not expel the Canaanites.  Judges 1:30. In the Talmud, it is identified with "Zippori," that is, Sepphoris, now Seffurieh .

Fausset's Bible Dictionary [2]

A town allotted to Zebulun, but not wrested from the Canaanites ( Judges 1:30). Probably the same as Kattath in  Joshua 19:15.

Morrish Bible Dictionary [3]

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [7]

(Heb. Kitron', קַטְרוֹן, Knotty, otherwise Curtailed, or Castle; Sept. Κετρών v. r. Κέδοων, and even Χεβρών ), a city of Zebulun from which the Israelites were long unable to expel the native Canaanites (Judges i, 30). It is very possibly the same elsewhere called KATTATH ( Joshua 19:15), notwithstanding the objection of Keil (Comment. on Joshua ad loc.) that this and all the other names are needed as distinct cities in order to make up the number twelve there specified; for even thus the number will be incomplete, without either supposing the text corrupt or borrowing from those enumerated in the preceding verses (doubtless the true solution), in either of which cases these three names, so nearly identical (Kattah, Kartah, Kitron), may be assigned to one place. Schwarz (Palest. p. 173), on Talmudical grounds, apparently incorrectly, identifies it with Sepphoris (q.v.).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [8]

kit´ron ( קטרון , ḳiṭrōn ): An unidentified place in Zebulun, not possessed by the tribe (  Judges 1:30 ). It may be identical with Kattath of  Joshua 19:15 . In the Talmud it is identified with Sepphoris, which is represented by the modern village of Ṣeffūriyeh .
