Context of Joshua 11:3

1When King Jabin of Hazor heard the news, he organized a coalition, including King Jobab of Madon, the king of Shimron, the king of Acshaph, 2and the northern kings who ruled in the hill country, the Arabah south of Kinnereth, the lowlands, and the heights of Dor to the west. Canaanites came from the east and west; Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites from the hill country; and Hivites from below Hermon in the area of Mizpah. 4These kings came out with their armies; they were as numerous as the sand on the seashore and had a large number of horses and chariots. 5All these kings gathered and joined forces at the Waters of Merom to fight Israel.
