JOS 11:1 Parallel Verse View

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 11:1–15 The Israelites conquered the towns of northern Canaan

King Jabin, the king of Hazor, brought together the kings of the towns in Northern Canaan to fight against Israel. With the help of Yahweh, Joshua and the Israelites fought and defeated all these towns and killed their kings and their people.

Here is another possible section heading:

Israel defeated the northern towns

11:1a

Now when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things,

¶ When King Jabin of Hazor heard about the battles that the Israelites won,
¶ King Jabin, the king of Hazor, heard what happened.

Now when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things: The clause when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things has the same structure as the clause that began 10:1. It is recommended that you translate it in a similar way.

Hazor: The town of Hazor was a large town about 14 kilometers north of the Sea of Galilee.11:1 Howard, p. 265.

about these things: The phrase about these things refers to Joshua’s victories over the kings in Southern Canaan.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

King Jabin of Hazor heard about Joshua’s victories (CEV)

King Jabin of Hazor heard what had happened (GW)

11:1b

he sent word to Jobab king of Madon; to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph;

he sent a message to King Jobab of Madon, and to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph,
So, he sent messengers to many cities and asked them to join him in fighting against Israel. He sent them to King Jobab of Madon City and to the king of Shimron City and the king of Achshaph City.

he sent word to Jobab king of Madon: In the list of kings that follows, King Jobab is the only king listed by name. This indicates that he was Jabin’s most powerful neighbor.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

he sent messengers to King Jobab of Madon to ask for his help to fight against the Israelites

Madon: The town of Madon was 30 kilometers southeast of Hazor.11:1 Bratcher and Newman, p. 158.

to the kings of Shimron: The exact location of the town of Shimron is unknown. In Joshua 19:15, it is listed as part of the territory of Zebulun.11:1 Howard, p. 266.

and Achshaph: The exact location of the town of Achshaph is uncertain. It is listed as part of the territory of Asher in Joshua 19:25.
