From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Cinnereth
     a harp, one of the "fenced cities" of Naphtali (Josh. 19:35;
     comp. Deut. 3:17). It also denotes, apparently, a district which
     may have taken its name from the adjacent city or lake of
     Gennesaret, anciently called "the sea of Chinnereth" (q.v.), and
     was probably that enclosed district north of Tiberias afterwards


     called "the plain of Gennesaret." Called Chinneroth (R.V.,
     Chinnereth) Josh. 11:2. The phrase "all Cinneroth, with all the
     land of Naphtali" in 1 Kings 15:20 is parallel to "the
     store-houses of the cities of Naphtali" (R.V. marg.) in 2 Chr.
     16:4.
