When we realize how powerful Hazor was and how Jabin, the King of Hazor, gathered countless armies against the Israelites, we see that only God could have given them victory.
Location
1. Hazor is located about 10 miles (16 km.) due north of the Sea of Galilee and just to the east of Hwy. 90.
2. It was on one of the most important travel routes called the “Via Maris,” which linked Africa and Egypt with Syria and Asia.
3. It was the largest and most strategic city in northern Galilee due to its size and location.
Historical Background
1. Hazor was one of the most important cities of the Canaanites and was the head of all the northern kingdoms (Josh. 11:10).
2. It was 10 times the size of Jerusalem and totaled 200 acres (81 hectares, 200 football fields) in size.
3. The upper part of the tel is around 30 acres (12 hectares), and the lower part is around 170 acres (69 hectares).
4. What we see today of Hazor is 1/8 the size of what it once was.
5. To the north lies most of the city which is now a farm field.
6. It’s the largest tel in Israel.
7. It’s also believed to have been the largest city in ancient Canaan.
8. It was one of three major cities of defense in Israel (Gezer, to the south, Megiddo, in the middle of the country, and Hazor, in the north). All three cities were on the Via Maris.
9. Hazor rivaled Nineveh in size and importance.
10. Hazor is mentioned 19 times in the Bible.

Hazor in the Bible
The victory over Hazor by Joshua and the Israelites is probably one of the most overlooked miracles in the Bible. When we realize how powerful Hazor was and how Jabin, the King of Hazor, gathered countless armies against the Israelites, we see that it was only God who could have given them the victory.
1. When Jabin, King of Hazor heard that Joshua and the Israelites had been on a conquering rampage throughout all the southern part of the land, he gathered a host of kings in the northern part of the land, which was so large that they were like the sand on the seashore, in order to unite and fight against the Israelites (Joshua 11:1-5).
2. All the unified kings and soldiers believed that with their countless armies and gods, Israel would be no match for them.
3. God told Joshua and the Israelites not to be afraid because He would be with them and deliver all these kings into their hands (Joshua 11:6-9).
4. After defeating all the armies, Joshua conquered Hazor and burned it with fire (Joshua 11:10-13).
5. Hazor was later retaken and rebuilt by the Canaanites. God used the Canaanites to punish Israel for their disobedience to Him (Judges 4:1-3).
6. God used Deborah and Barak to deliver the Israelites after they repented of their sins and cried out to Him for help (Joshua 4:14-16).
7. Hazor later came under the control of Israel during the period of King David and Solomon, and Solomon rebuilt and fortified Hazor, along with Megiddo and Gezer (1 Kings 9:15).
8. As a result of Israel’s disobedience to God, Hazor was destroyed by Assyria in 722 BC, and the northern 10 tribes of Israel were deported (2 Kings 15:29).
9. Jeremiah prophesied against Hazor due to the Israelites disobedience just before the Babylonian conquest and deportation of the Israelites in around 586 BC. (Jeremiah 49:33).
Faith Lesson from Hazor
1. When the Israelites obeyed God, He blessed them and made them victorious over countless kings and multitudes of soldiers.
2. When they disobeyed God, He caused them to become weak and defeated.
3. The same lesson from the Old Testament applies to us today (Rom. 15:4). When we are obedient and faithful to God, we live victoriously and receive His blessings. However, when we disobey Him, we become weak and defeated.
4. What kind of lives are we living today, and are we victorious or defeated?

hi pastor mike,can you make videos about the destruction of tyre
So is it safe to say most of the Israelites today are of Benjamin and Judah? Amazing how the Bible said Jesus would come from the tribe of Judah knowing the other 10 tribes would be lost other than Benjamin. Thanks for your work, Pastor Todd.
Thanks for sharing. God bless.
The more reason God sent Isaiah to King Ahaz in Isaiah 7.Not to fear a coalition of northern israel and Syria.
They were conquered by Assyria under Tiglath pileser lll.The Assyrian king is known as pul in 2kings.
Judah was saved in a miraclous manner when Sennacherib of Assyria(2kings 18, and chapter 19).
Threatened to conquer Judah during the reign of Hezekiah...Son of Ahaz.
Assyrians had a policy of sharing her captives among her cities to extinct them.If Judah had been conquered after Northern Israel, where would Jesus come from? Their identity may have been lost.

@@HolyLandSite am so glad too
World peace starts from free strong PALESTINE 🇵🇸
Would you please remove the music. It disturbs concentration. God bless you
Thanks for your comment and sorry about the music. It 's a challenge for us because many say they like the music and some say they don't. Just curious if any others want to speak up and tell us what you think about the music.
@@HolyLandSite I actually really enjoy the background music! I was even wonderering for quite some time where it's from or the name of the song. In my humble opinion I don't find it too overpowering at all. It's relaxing and it puts in the mood for listening to historical facts and in my mind it's also a musical signature related to your videos. btw thank you for your channel it's a blessing!
@@Draculina22 Thanks for your input. The name of the songs are: "At Rest" and "When the Wind Blows.
@@HolyLandSite I personally like the music
@@HolyLandSite the music is fine. Maybe the people upset with it can read the caption subtitles? Please keep it. Your narration over is perfect. Your balance and natural delivery of God's message is comforting.
Where did they get the steel back then
The steel is a modern structure built in recent years so tourists can go down and see the water system.
I would just say his dates are off but that is for another video.
On ne peu pas contredire les écritures de la Bible 🙏. Car nous avons la preuve.
It’s hard to imagine that dragons took over hazor.
Why do you preach the word of god? Were you sent or did you volunteer? Who give you permission or right to preach the word of God?!. Hebreo 4:12. Tatlong katanungan iisa ang kasagutan. Banal na Pag-Subok, Saan mo nakuha ang iyong kasagutan? Juan 10:1. Genesis 11:1
The Israelites could not conquer all the pagans, for one of two reasons, 1 so that the animals would not multiply rapidly, 2 to test their Faith or loyalty to God
