In this video listen to Joshua 11 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.

In Joshua 11 there is now a battle with the northern cities. Jabin (a title) king of Hazor was the leader. Hazor was the third city that the bible verifies was burnt by fire, and the archaeology verifies this showing a burn layer. In Judges 5 is another King Jabin - which some thought was confusing because they thought the bible was mixing narratives.

The Associates for Biblical Research have discovered that Jabin was not a name but a title given to all the kings of Hazor, just as Pharaoh was given to all kings of Egypt. Joshua once again employs a surprise attack at Merom. Merom is about ten miles north of Galilee. The alliance of northern kings is defeated and Joshua now has control over the entire land, although not every enemy is yet defeated.
