Kishion
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Kishion . A town allotted to Issachar ( Joshua 19:20 ), given to the Levites ( Joshua 21:28 ). The parallel passage, 1 Chronicles 6:72 , reads Kedesh , which is perhaps a textual error for Kishion. The latter name has not been recovered.
Smith's Bible Dictionary [2]
Kish'ion. (Hardness). One of the towns on the boundary of the tribe of Issachar, Joshua 19:20, which with its suburbs was allotted to the Gershonite Levites. Joshua 21:28. Authorized Version, Kishon .

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [6]
kish´i - on , kish´yon ( קשׁיון , ḳishyōn ): A city in the territory of Issachar ( Joshua 19:20 ), given to the Gershonite Levites ( Joshua 21:28; the King James Version wrongly "Kishon"). The parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 6:72 reads "Kedesh" instead of "Kishion." The true reading is probably קדשׁיון , ḳidhshōn . Conder suggests a likely identification with Tell Abū Ḳedes , not far from Taanach.
