The river was conducted round the city in a double channel, across which a wide bridge was thrown, the space between the two channels being apparently occupied by a wall.
Kadesh must have been one of the last conquests made by the Hittites in Syria, and their retention of it was the visible sign of their supremacy over Western THE HITTITE CITIES, AND, RACE. 1C!
Asia. We do not know when they were forced to yield up its possession to others. As has been pointed out, the correct reading of 2 Sam.... Xxiv. 6 informs us that the northern limit of the kingdom of David was formed by ' the Hittites of Kadesh/ ' the entering in of Hamath, ' as it seems to be called elsewhere. In the age of David, accordingly, Kadesh must still have been in their hands, but it had already ceased to be so when the Assyrian king Shalmaneser III. Led his armies to the west. No allusion to the city and its inhabitants occurs in the Assyrian inscriptions, and we may conjecture that it had been destroyed by the Syrians of Damascus.
