    Description

    Hazor in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Hazor was the largest and most important city in Canaan during the time of Joshua, serving as the head of the northern Canaanite kingdoms (Josh 11:10). Its king, Jabin, led a coalition against Israel, but was defeated by Joshua, who captured and destroyed Hazor (Josh 11:1,10-11,13). The city was allotted to the tribe of Naphtali (Josh 19:36). Hazor later revived and oppressed Israel, but was defeated by Deborah and Barak (Judg 4:2,17). The city was fortified by Solomon (1Ki.9.15) and was one of the first cities captured by Tiglath-pileser III of Assyria during his invasion of Israel (2Ki.15.29). Excavations at Tel Hazor have revealed a large, heavily fortified city with Canaanite temples and palaces, as well as evidence of destruction by fire, possibly corroborating the biblical account of Joshua's conquest.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
