The United Kings of Northern Canaan Defeated

11 When Jabin king of Hazor heard of this, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Ach′shaph, ² and to the kings who were in the northern hill country, and in the Arabah south of Chin′neroth, and in the lowland, and in Naphoth-dor on the west, ³ to the Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Per′izzites, and the Jeb′usites in the hill country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah. ⁴ And they came out, with all their troops, a great host, in number like the sand that is upon the seashore, with very many horses and chariots. ⁵ And all these kings joined their forces, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
