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. The Talmud identifies Ziddim with Caphar Hittaia, the site of the Palestinian village of Hattin, located about west of Tiberias, north of the Horns of Hattin. This identification is not certain, and the exact location today remains unknown.
