What does "Joshua 12:22" mean?
Joshua 12 lists the kings that the Israelites defeated during the conquest of Canaan. The verse you quoted, Joshua 12:22, is part of that list and identifies two specific kings:
"the king of Kedesh, one;" This refers to the king of the city of Kedesh. There were multiple cities named Kedesh, but likely this refers to Kedesh in Galilee (Joshua 19:37), which became a city of refuge. The "one" indicates that only one king from that city was defeated.
"the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;" This refers to the king of the city of Jokneam, which was located in the Carmel region (Joshua 19:11). Again, the "one" indicates that only one king from that city was defeated.
In summary, the verse simply records that the Israelites defeated the king of Kedesh (possibly Kedesh in Galilee) and the king of Jokneam in Carmel, each being counted as a single victory.
