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.
