The meaning of Kidron in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

= Kedron = Cedron, turbid, the winter torrent which flows through the Valley of Jehoshaphat, on the eastern side of Jerusalem, between the city and the Mount of Olives. This valley is known in Scripture only by the name "the brook Kidron." David crossed this brook bare-foot and weeping, when fleeing from Absalom (II Samuel 15:23,30), and it was frequently crossed by our Lord in his journeyings to and fro (John 18:1). Here Asa burned the obscene idols of his mother (I Kings 15:13), and here Athaliah was executed (II Kings 11:16). It afterwards became the receptacle for all manner of impurities (II Chronicles 29:16; 30:14); and in the time of Josiah this valley was the common cemetery of the city (II Kings 23:6; Compare Jeremiah 26:23).
