Usage: The term "Kishon" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a significant river in the region of Israel, particularly in the context of notable biblical events. Context: The Kishon River is a prominent geographical feature in the biblical narrative, primarily known for its role in the defeat of the Canaanite army led by Sisera. This event is recounted in the Book of Judges, where the prophetess Deborah and the military leader Barak lead the Israelites to victory. The river is described as the site where the Canaanite forces were swept away, as recorded in Judges 4:7 and Judges 5:21. The Kishon is also mentioned in 1 Kings 18:40, where the prophet Elijah orders the prophets of Baal to be brought down to the Kishon and executed after the contest on Mount Carmel. The river flows through the Jezreel Valley and empties into the Mediterranean Sea near the modern city of Haifa. Its historical and theological significance is underscored by its association with divine intervention and judgment against Israel's enemies.
