Jos 11:1-3 | MHM | STEP | Joshua 11:1 – Confederacy Against Israel This chapter describes another important campaign led by Joshua. Although this campaign did not have as many miracles as the last one, it was still very successful. Earlier miracles had encouraged the Israelites, but now God expected them to act bravely using the strength He gave. In this story, several northern kings unite to fight against Israel, led by Jabin, king of Hazor. Their army was very large and had many horses and chariots, which made them seem powerful. But God promised Joshua victory and told him not to be afraid. Joshua obeyed God’s instructions, destroyed the enemy’s horses and chariots, and led Israel to triumph. This passage reminds us that God sometimes uses ordinary help, not just miracles, to give victory to His people. v. 1–3 : Jabin, king of Hazor, led a new alliance against Israel. He called together kings and armies from many nations—Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and others ( vv. 1–3 ). Even though they had different backgrounds and interests, they united to fight Israel. This shows how enemies of God's people can work together, even if they normally disagree (Luke 23:12 ).

v. 1–3: Jabin, king of Hazor, led a new alliance against Israel. He called together kings and armies from many nations—Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and others (vv. 1–3 ^a). Even though they had different backgrounds and interests, they united to fight Israel. This shows how enemies of God's people can work together, even if they normally disagree (Luke 23:12 ^b).
