From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chinnereth
      lyre, the singular form of the word (Deut. 3:17; Josh. 19:35),
      which is also used in the plural form, Chinneroth, the name of a
      fenced city which stood near the shore of the lake of Galilee, a
      little to the south of Tiberias. The town seems to have given
      its name to a district, as appears from 1 Kings 15:20, where the
      plural form of the word is used.
     
         The Sea of Chinnereth (Num. 34:11; Josh. 13:27), or of
      Chinneroth (Josh. 12: 3), was the "lake of Gennesaret" or "sea
      of Tiberias" (Deut. 3:17; Josh. 11:2). Chinnereth was probably
      an ancient Canaanitish name adopted by the Israelites into their
      language.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Cinnereth
      a harp, one of the "fenced cities" of Naphtali (Josh. 19:35;
      comp. Deut. 3:17). It also denotes, apparently, a district which
      may have taken its name from the adjacent city or lake of
      Gennesaret, anciently called "the sea of Chinnereth" (q.v.), and
      was probably that enclosed district north of Tiberias afterwards
      called "the plain of Gennesaret." Called Chinneroth (R.V.,
      Chinnereth) Josh. 11:2. The phrase "all Cinneroth, with all the
      land of Naphtali" in 1 Kings 15:20 is parallel to "the
      store-houses of the cities of Naphtali" (R.V. marg.) in 2 Chr.
      16:4.
