From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kadesh
      the sacred city of the Hittites, on the left bank of the
      Orontes, about 4 miles south of the Lake of Homs. It is
      identified with the great mound Tell Neby Mendeh, some 50 to 100
      feet high, and 400 yards long. On the ruins of the temple of
      Karnak, in Egypt, has been found an inscription recording the
      capture of this city by Rameses II. (See {PHARAOH}.)
      Here the sculptor "has chiselled in deep work on the stone, with
      a bold execution of the several parts, the procession of the
      warriors, the battle before Kadesh, the storming of the
      fortress, the overthrow of the enemy, and the camp life of the
      Egyptians." (See {HITTITES}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kadesh
      holy, or Kadesh-Barnea, sacred desert of wandering, a place on
      the south-eastern border of Palestine, about 165 miles from
      Horeb. It lay in the "wilderness" or "desert of Zin" (Gen. 14:7;
      Num. 13:3-26; 14:29-33; 20:1; 27:14), on the border of Edom
      (20:16). From this place, in compliance with the desire of the
      people, Moses sent forth "twelve spies" to spy the land. After
      examining it in all its districts, the spies brought back an
      evil report, Joshua and Caleb alone giving a good report of the
      land (13:18-31). Influenced by the discouraging report, the
      people abandoned all hope of entering into the Promised Land.
      They remained a considerable time at Kadesh. (See HORMAH
      ¯T0001820; {KORAH}.) Because of their unbelief, they
      were condemned by God to wander for thirty-eight years in the
      wilderness. They took their journey from Kadesh into the deserts
      of Paran, "by way of the Red Sea" (Deut. 2:1). (One theory is
      that during these thirty-eight years they remained in and about
      Kadesh.)
     
         At the end of these years of wanderings, the tribes were a
      second time gathered together at Kadesh. During their stay here
      at this time Miriam died and was buried. Here the people
      murmured for want of water, as their forefathers had done
      formerly at Rephidim; and Moses, irritated by their chidings,
      "with his rod smote the rock twice," instead of "speaking to the
      rock before their eyes," as the Lord had commanded him (comp.
      Num. 27:14; Deut. 9:23; Ps. 106:32, 33). Because of this act of
      his, in which Aaron too was involved, neither of them was to be
      permitted to set foot within the Promised Land (Num. 20:12, 24).
      The king of Edom would not permit them to pass on through his
      territory, and therefore they commenced an eastward march, and
      "came unto Mount Hor" (20:22).
     
         This place has been identified with 'Ain el-Kadeis, about 12
      miles east-south-east of Beersheba. (See {SPIES}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kedesh
      sanctuary. (1.) A place in the extreme south of Judah (Josh.
      15:23). Probably the same as Kadesh-barnea (q.v.).
     
         (2.) A city of Issachar (1 Chr. 6:72). Possibly Tell Abu
      Kadeis, near Lejjun.
     
         (3.) A "fenced city" of Naphtali, one of the cities of refuge
      (Josh. 19:37; Judg. 4:6). It was assigned to the Gershonite
      Levites (Josh. 21:32). It was originally a Canaanite royal city
      (Josh. 12:22), and was the residence of Barak (Judg. 4:6); and
      here he and Deborah assembled the tribes of Zebulun and Naphtali
      before the commencement of the conflict with Sisera in the plain
      of Esdraelon, "for Jehovah among the mighty" (9, 10). In the
      reign of Pekah it was taken by Tiglath-Pileser (2 Kings 15:29).
      It was situated near the "plain" (rather "the oak") of Zaanaim,
      and has been identified with the modern Kedes, on the hills
      fully four miles north-west of Lake El Huleh.
     
         It has been supposed by some that the Kedesh of the narrative,
      where Barak assembled his troops, was not the place in Upper
      Galilee so named, which was 30 miles distant from the plain of
      Esdraelon, but Kedish, on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, 12
      miles from Tabor.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Kadesh, holiness
