All supplied tokens are tagged Noun · Proper. In Joshua 20:7 the APB renders a consecration of Kedesh in Galilee among designated places; in Judges 4:6 it renders Barak as summoned from Kedesh in Naphtali, while Judges 4:10 and Judges 4:9 present it as the destination to which Barak and Deborah go. Joshua 12:22 also places the name in the clause naming a king, and 2 Kings 15:29 includes it among places captured.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually presents the name as “Kedesh,” including in city lists, the capture account, and the Judges narrative. In 1 Chronicles 6:57 and 1 Chronicles 6:61, the supplied translation summarizes city grants without visibly reproducing the name, so the translation does not provide a one-to-one rendering for every token.
