Joshua 19:35

Fenced cities. Of these 16 fortified cities named in vs. 35-39, Zer, Adamah, Edrei, and Horem have not been definitely identified.

Ziddim. Signifying “the sides.” The Kefar Hattya, “the village of the Hittites,” mentioned in the Talmud, now called Hattin. It is situated on the plain 5 1/2 mi. (8.8 km.) northwest of Tiberias.

Hammath. Signifying “warm.” Believed to have been a village with warm baths a little south of Tiberias. It is probably the present Hammam Tabariyeh.

Rakkath. Perhaps from the verb “to pound out.” Thought by some to have been 1 1/2 mi. (2.4 km.) north of the later Tiberias. Its name would suit the site. At least, it was somewhere in that area.

Chinnereth. Signifying “a lyre,” in KJV “a harp.” A fortified city on the northwest shore of the Sea of Chinnereth (Galilee). It gave its name to the harp-shaped lake known later as Gennesaret, or Galilee.
