The Itinerary maintains a parallel track throughout with respect to Jewish sovereignty and the Kidron Valley area. It is the main historical document used by modern archeologists and historians to identify the Kidron Valley and its historical significance. Historians also glean information regarding cultural settlement patterns and Jewish societal norms from this text. When Benjamin narrates his travels among the Jews in Damascus, the lists of communal elders diminish. This fact would coincide with the traditions of the Middle Eastern communities that held a more hierarchic code of government. In several communities we meet individuals with the honorific title, Nasi, or “Prince.” This title seems to indicate that its bearer ascribed his family lineage to the house of King David. The function of these men was governance of the community. |

Sebuah bagian Alkitab menyebutkan bahwa Allah akan mengumpulkan semua bangsa di "Lembah Yosafat" ({{Alkitab|Yoel 3:2, Yoel 3:12}}). Beberapa pakar meyakini bahwa Lembah Yosafat (“Yahweh akan menghakimi” ) merujuk kepada bagian lembah yang terletak di antara Yerusalem dan Bukit Zaitun di sebelah timurnya. Diyakini di lembah ini raja [[Yosafat]] mengalahkan musuh-musuhnya ({{Alkitab|2 Tawarikh 20:26). Identifikasi dengan Lembah Kidron dianggap dimulai dari abad ke-4, dan tidak cukup catatan untuk menghubungkannya dengan tempat ini sebelum zaman [[Kekristenan]]. |

A passage in the Bible mentions that God will assemble all nations in the “Valley of Jehoshaphat” (Joel Joel 3:2, Joel 3:12). Some hold that the Valley of Jehoshaphat (“Yahweh shall judge” ) refers to the valley situated between Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives to the east. It was in this valley where king Jehoshaphat is thought to have overthrown the enemies of Israel (2Chr. 2Chr. 20:26). Its identification with the Kidron Valley, which began in the fourth century, is somewhat uncertain since no actual valley of this name is known to pre-Christian antiquity. |

Kidron (Transliterasi Latin: Cedron, dari bahasa Ibrani: נחל קדרון, Naḥal Qidron; "Lembah Qidron"; bahasa Arab: وادي الجوز, Wadi al-Joz) adalah nama lembah dan sungai yang terletak tepat di sebelah timur bagian Kota Tua Yerusalem, memisahkan "Bukit Bait Allah" (Temple Mount) dengan Bukit Zaitun. Membujur terus ke timur melalui padang gurun Yudea, menuju Laut Mati, menurun sedalam 4000 kaki sepanjang 20 mil. Tempat pemukiman Israel, Kedar, terletak di tebing di atas lembah itu, dan namanya berasal dari nama lembahnya. Daerah tempat tinggal Wadi Al-Joz menggunakan nama lembah dalam bahasa Arabnya.[1] Alkitab menyebut lembah Kidron sebagai "Lembah Yosafat" (Emek Yehoshafat). Menurut nubuat akhir zaman (eskatologi) Yahudi, lembah ini adalah tempat kembalinya nabi Elia, diikuti dengan kedatangan Messias, serta peperangan melawan Gog dan Magog yang kemudian menuju kepada Hari Penghakiman (kiamat).[2]
Catatan Alkitab mengenai lembah Kidron
Alkitab menyebut lembah Kidron ini "Lembah Yosafat" (bahasa Inggris: Valley of Jehoshaphat; (bahasa Ibrani: עמק יהושפט), emeq Yehoshafat; artinya "lembah di mana TUHAN (YHWH) akan menghakimi") Di zaman raja-raja Perjanjian Lama, lembah ini diidentifikasi sebagai "Taman Raja" (the King’s Garden); para raja memiliki tanah di daerah ini.[3] Lembah Kidron juga dikenal sebagai "Lembah Raja" dan disinilah Absalom putra Daud mendirikan tugu monumen untuk mengenangnya. Diduga tempat yang disebut dengan "Lembah Raja" ini adalah di sekitar En-rogel, yang merupakan ujung lebih bawah dari Lembah Kidron.[4]
Tidak semua pakar setuju dengan pandangan tradisional bahwa Lembah Kidron ini sama dengan Lembah Yosafat. Komentator Alkitab Adam Clarke berpendapat bahwa "Lembah Penghakiman" itu adalah suatu tempat simbolik.[5] Kidron Valley was not associated with the Valley of Jehoshaphat until the 4th century AD.[6]
Sebuah bagian Alkitab menyebutkan bahwa Allah akan mengumpulkan semua bangsa di "Lembah Yosafat" (Yoel 3:2, Yoel 3:12). Beberapa pakar meyakini bahwa Lembah Yosafat (“Yahweh akan menghakimi” ) merujuk kepada bagian lembah yang terletak di antara Yerusalem dan Bukit Zaitun di sebelah timurnya. Diyakini di lembah ini raja Yosafat mengalahkan musuh-musuhnya ({{Alkitab|2 Tawarikh 20:26). Identifikasi dengan Lembah Kidron dianggap dimulai dari abad ke-4, dan tidak cukup catatan untuk menghubungkannya dengan tempat ini sebelum zaman Kekristenan.
"Tugu peringatan Absalom" (Monument of Absalom) dinamakan sesuai tradisi Yahudi dari Kitab 2 Samuel pasal 18;18:
- Sewaktu hidupnya Absalom telah mendirikan bagi dirinya sendiri tugu yang sekarang ada di Lembah Raja, sebab katanya: "Aku tidak ada anak laki-laki untuk melanjutkan ingatan kepada namaku." Dan ia telah menamai tugu itu menurut namanya sendiri; sebab itu sampai hari ini tugu itu dinamai orang: tugu peringatan Absalom.[7]
