KIDRON, OR KEDRON - K>@ - (turbid), The brook, a torrent or valley, not a "brook," or, as in the margin of Revised Version, "ravine;" Gr. winter torrent. It was close to Jerusalem, between the city and the Mount of Olives. it is now commonly known as the "valley of Jehoshaphat." The channel of the valley of Jehoshaphat is nothing more than the dry bed of a wintry torrent, bearing marks of being occasionally swept over by a large volume of water. It was crossed by David in his flight, (2 Samuel 15:23) comp. 2Sam 15:30 And by our Lord on his way to Gethsemane. kjv@John:18:1) comp. kjv@Mark:14:26; kjv@Luke:22:39 The distinguishing peculiarity of the Kidron valley
mentioned in the Old Testament
is the impurity which appears to have been ascribed to it. In the time of Josiah it was the common cemetery of the city. ( kjv@2Kings:23:6) comp. Jere 26:23

Kidron @ = Kedron = Cedron, turbid, the winter torrent which flows through the Valley of Jehoshaphat, on the eastern side of Jerusalem, between the city and the Mount of Olives. This valley is known in Scripture only by the name "the brook Kidron." David crossed this brook bare-foot and weeping, when fleeing from Absalom ( kjv@2Samuel:15:23 kjv@2Samuel:15:30), and it was frequently crossed by our Lord in his journeyings to and fro kjv@John:18:1). Here Asa burned the obscene idols of his mother (kjvKings:15:13), and here Athaliah was executed ( kjv@2Kings:11:16). It afterwards became the receptacle for all manner of impurities ( kjv@2Chronicals:29:16 kjv@2Chronicals:30:14); and in the time of Josiah this valley was the common cemetery of the city ( kjv@2Kings:23:6; comp. kjv@Jeremiah:26:23). Through this mountain ravine no water runs, except after heavy rains in the mountains round about Jerusalem. Its length from its head to en

See KEDRON.) Recent excavations have brought to light the fact that the old bed of the Kidron is about 40 feet lower than its present bed, and about 70 feet nearer the sanctuary wall.
