Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Kishon River in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific geographical location unique to the Hebrew Scriptures.

Usage: The term "Qishyon" refers to the Kishon River, a significant waterway in the biblical narrative. It is often associated with pivotal events in Israel's history, particularly in the context of divine deliverance and judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: The Kishon River is located in the northern part of Israel, flowing through the Jezreel Valley and into the Mediterranean Sea. In biblical times, it served as a geographical landmark and played a crucial role in several military encounters. The river's seasonal flooding could transform it into a formidable barrier, impacting the outcomes of battles.
