Hazor sits at the juncture of main trade routes connecting Sidon with Beth Shan and Damascus with Megiddo. A massive site, it was systematically excavated by Yigel Yadin in the 50s and 60s. Hazor appears in numerous passages throughout the Old Testament. Perhaps most famously it is the site of King Jabin, a Canaanite king who led a coalition against Joshua and his allies. It also later supplied Sisera’s troops against Deborah and Barak.

Hazor (the mound in view) sat at the junction of the region’s main trade routes.

Here is the footprint of Hazor’s Iron Age gate, attributed to Solomon in 1 Kings 9:15.

A massive Canaanite palace located here was likely in use when Israel was entering the Promised Land.

Like Megiddo, Hazor secured its strategic water to support itself even during warfare.

The remains of a pillared house at Hazor suggest possible Israelite influence.
