Northern Conquest


Listen Later

Scripture: Joshua 11
Same Old Story

4-11. The Conquest of Canaan: The Northern Campaign, c. 1400 B.C. or c. 1214 B.C. (Joshua 11:1–23) After Joshua’s forces defeated several Amorite kings in the south, the king of Hazor assembled the northern Canaanite kings to battle the Israelites. Joshua and his men defeated the Canaanites at the waters of Merom and pursued them to Great Sidon and the Valley of Mizpeh. Then Joshua turned back and captured the city of Hazor.

Take Aways

Is your heart hard towards salvation?

Is your heart hard to God’s Word?

Are you tired of working so hard on religious duties?
