Ziddim was an ancient city in Naphtali. It is described in the Book of Joshua 19:35 as one of sixteen or nineteen fortified cities, the others including Zer, Hammath, Rakkath and Chinnereth.[1][2] The Talmud identifies Ziddim with Caphar Hittaia, the site of the Palestinian village of Hattin, located about 8 kilometers (5.0 mi) west of Tiberias, north of the Horns of Hattin.[1] This identification is not certain, and the exact location today remains unknown.[1]
