Numerous  other  sites  had  previously  been
suggested,  especially  'Ain  el-Weibeh,  on  the
western  side  of  the  Arabah,  northwest  of
Petra.  Robinson  had  failed  to  discover  any
spring  called  Kadis,  and  settled  on  the  spring
el-Weibeh  because  of  its  copiousness  and  its
proximity  to  the  borders  of  Edom.  Wetz-
stein  identified  Kadesh  with  Kadus,  north
of  Jebel  Madara;  but  see  KEDESH  1.
2.  The  name  is  perhaps  contained  in  "  the
land  of  Tahtim-hodshi "  (2  Sam.  xxiv.  6),
corrected  by  means  of  Lucian's  text  to  "  the
land  of  the  Hittites,  toward  Kadesh."

Kad'mi-el  [God  is  of  old].
A  Levite,  head  of  a  tribal  house,  who  re
turned  from  Babylon  with  Zerubbabel  (Ezra
ii.  40;  Neh.  vii.  43;  xii.  8).  He  helped  to
oversee  the  workmen  engaged  in  rebuilding
the  temple  (Ezra  iii.  9).  The  representative
of  the  house  sealed  the  covenant  (Xeh.  x.  9),
perhaps  being  the  same  person  who  had  pre
viously  assisted  in  the  public  confession  (ix.
4,5).
(R.   V.   of   Num.  xxiv.    22;    Judg.  iv.   11,
margin).
2.  A  village  in  Judah,  in  A.  V.  spelled
Cain  (Josh.  xv.  57).
Kal'lai  [swift].
A  priest,  head  of  the  father's  house  of
Sallai  in  the  time  of  Joiakim,  the  high  priest
(Neh.  xii.  20).
Ka'mon ;  in  A.  Y.  Camon.
