JOSHUA 11:10 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.”
Hazor destroyed — Joshua at that time turned back and took Hazor and struck its king with the sword. For Hazor formerly was the head of all those kingdoms (כִּי־חָצוֹר לִפְנַיִם הִיא רֹאשׁ כָּל־הַמַּמְלָכוֹת הָאֵלֶּה). Hazor, the supreme Canaanite city, is singled out for conquest and its king executed. The parenthetical statement—'Hazor formerly was the head of all those kingdoms'—acknowledges Hazor's preeminence while narrating its fall. The city that once commanded the northern coalition is reduced to ashes.
