ヨシュア記 11:2 JC

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 11:1-3

Chapter 11. The Northern Confederacy - the Invasion of the North. This chapter tells how the kings of the northern parts of Canaan now combined together against Joshua, and how YHWH encouraged him to fight them, delivering them into his hands, so that all their people were smitten by him. It describes how he captured their cities, destroyed their inhabitants, and took their spoil. The chapter concludes with an account of his destroying the Anakim and declares that he had now ‘conquered’ the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 11:1-23

Joshua 11. Defeat of Jabin and his Coalition.— Jabin, king of Hazor, gathers a vast army of Canaanites at the Waters of Merom (locality uncertain, p. 32). The coalition was utterly defeated, the king was slain, and his city burnt. In Judges 4, a king of the same name and the same city appears, who “ for twenty years mightily oppressed the children of Israel.” Joshua’ s victory here seems to be inconsistent with the account given of Jabin in Judges 4. The original story of Barak’ s campaign... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 11:1-14

THE OVERTHROW OF THE CITIES OF THE NORTH, AND GENERAL RETROSPECTCRITICAL NOTES.—Joshua 11:1. Hazor] In Joshua 11:11, Hazor is described as “the head” of all the kingdoms named in Joshua 11:1-3. It was in his capacity of principal monarch of North-West Canaan that Jabin summoned the other kings. Hazor was burned by Joshua (Joshua 11:13), but was afterwards rebuilt (Judges 4:2; 1 Samuel 12:9); it was fortified by Solomon (1 Kings 9:15), and its inhabitants, in the time of Pekah, were carried into... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Joshua 11:1-23

Chapter 11So in chapter eleven, the other kings when they had heard what happened to these kings that had come out against them, they also went out with their host. These are now the kings that are in the area of the Galilee, and upper Galilee region in the first three verses, clear up to Mount Hermon.And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, many people, even as the sand is on the sea shore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots. And these kings met together and they... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 11:1-23

Joshua 11:1 . Hazor, then the metropolis of a powerful kingdom, Jeremiah 49:28, is situate on Lake Merom, forty miles north of the sea of Galilee. Jabin with all the allies, 300,000 infantry, and 20,000 horse, according to Josephus, came southward to meet the Israelites, and Joshua hasted to meet him. This second general battle as good as completed the conquest of Canaan. The ill directed hosts were soon thrown into disorder, and probably destroyed one another. The Israelites fought under... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Joshua 11:1-23

Joshua 11:1-23When Jabin king of Hazor had heard.Take heed how ye hearI. Healing and not hearing. The tidings of the overthrow of Sihon and Og, and the fall of Jericho, seem to have made almost no impression on the sleepy King of Hazor.II. Hearing, but hearing in vain. When Ai fell there seems to have been a general movement all through Canaan west of Jordan (Joshua 9:1). Before Jabin had gathered the northern legions southern Canaan had been destroyed.III. Hearing, and hearing to ruin. When... read more
