Achshaph* — Tyndale Open Bible Dictionary

Canaanite royal city in Joshua’s time. Its king joined an alliance led by Jabin, king of Hazor, against Israel in a battle at the springs of Merom (Jos 11:1). After Israel’s decisive victory, Achshaph’s king was one of 31 Canaanite kings conquered by Joshua (Jos 12:20), fulfilling God’s promise to deliver kings into Israel’s hand (Dt 7:24). The city was subsequently assigned to Asher’s tribe for an inheritance (Jos 19:25).
