Joshua 11:10-15

As Hazor was the ringleader of this war, for so we read in the opening of the chapter, Joshua directed his special vengeance on him. This Hazor is a remarkable place in scripture, for it contained the enemy to God's church and people, for we find another Jabin of this kingdom, rising up to afflict Israel; see Judges 4:2. Perhaps as we read in the 13th verse, that Israel spared the strong cities of Hazor, this became a snare to their children after. For so the Lord hath said: Exodus 20:5. But let not the Reader overlook what is said of Joshua's uprightness, he left nothing undone of all the Lord's commands. Oh! it is lovely to behold souls zealous for the honour of their Lord, and to have respect unto all his precepts. Psalms 119:128.
