Hazor was one of the most significant sites in the Bible Lands. Its power was widely felt before the arrival of the Israelites, and it would have been one of the main lynchpin cities for them to conquer, ‘for Hazor was the head of all those kingdoms’. (Joshua 11:10) Hazor would also later become a powerful Solomonic fortress. Yet for all the important finds made at this historical site, a debate rages as to how they match up with the biblical record, especially of Joshua and his conquests. We’ll examine this dispute, as well as the wider history of this once-formidable city-fortress, the largest site in all biblical Israel.
