Hastings

Evidently, from the name meaning 'holy,' a sacred site from ancient times; a city of refuge (Jos 20:7) and a Levitical city (Jos 21:32). It was the home of Barak (Jg 4:6). It was captured by Tiglath-pileser (2Ki 15:29) in the reign of Pekah.

The site is the village of Kedes, one of the most picturesque spots in Galilee; to the E. of the village the ground is strewn with ancient remains. There are several fine sarcophagi and the ruins of a large building, possibly once a Roman temple.

E. W. G. Masterman.
