Chinnereth
    lyre, the singular form of the word (Deut. 3:17; Josh. 19:35),
    which is also used in the plural form, Chinneroth, the name of a
    fenced city which stood near the shore of the lake of Galilee, a
    little to the south of Tiberias. The town seems to have given
    its name to a district, as appears from 1 Kings 15:20, where the
    plural form of the word is used.

      The Sea of Chinnereth (Num. 34:11; Josh. 13:27), or of
    Chinneroth (Josh. 12: 3), was the "lake of Gennesaret" or "sea
    of Tiberias" (Deut. 3:17; Josh. 11:2). Chinnereth was probably
    an ancient Canaanitish name adopted by the Israelites into their
    language.
