Jos 11:10 | MHM | STEP | Joshua 11:10 – Joshua’s Victories This section describes how Joshua finished the campaign against the northern kings. The main city, Hazor, was destroyed because its king started the plan to fight Israel. Joshua also conquered many other cities in the region, but he did not burn them all. Instead, Israel was allowed to live in these cities and enjoy their wealth, as God had promised. The victory was complete: Israel destroyed all the people in these cities and took their goods as spoil. This fulfilled God’s command and gave Israel everything they needed to settle in the land. v. 10–11 : Joshua captured Hazor and killed its king, who had escaped the battle but was later found and slain in his own city. Hazor was burned because it was the main city behind the attack on Israel ( vv. 10, 11 ). The city would later be rebuilt by the Canaanites (Judges 4:2 ).
