In ancient Canaan, King Jabin of Hazor learns of the southern campaign of the Israelites. Determined not to fall to their conquests, he sends messengers far and wide to gather a formidable alliance of northern kings and city-states. From the rugged mountains to the fertile plains, they heed his call, assembling a vast army likened to the sands of the seashore. Led by Hazor, a prosperous city on a crucial trade route, the coalition prepares for battle at the Waters of Merom, their chariots symbolizing both their military prowess and economic might. This tale unfolds against the backdrop of ancient geopolitics, where alliances, technology, and strategic positioning shape the fate of nations.

We will cover part of chapter 11 in the Book of Joshua in this episode.
