From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Kedron
     the valley, now quite narrow, between the Mount of Olives and
     Mount Moriah. The upper part of it is called the Valley of
     Jehoshaphat. The LXX., in 1 Kings 15:13, translate "of the
     cedar." The word means "black," and may refer to the colour of
     the water or the gloom of the ravine, or the black green of the


     cedars which grew there. John 18:1, "Cedron," only here in New
     Testament. (See {KIDRON}.)
