Parallels

  • Judges 4:2 (verbal): Mentions Jabin king of Hazor by name as Israel’s oppressor — the same royal title/location named in Joshua 11:1 (direct verbal parallel).
  • Judges 5:6-8 (thematic): The Song of Deborah depicts Israel’s oppression under Jabin and the prominence of Hazor and other Canaanite strongholds, reflecting the same enemy-political landscape behind Joshua 11:1.
  • Joshua 10:5-6 (structural): Describes a coalition of Canaanite/Amorite kings uniting against Israel (the five Amorite kings), a closely related motif of multiple kings combining forces as in Joshua 11:1.
  • Genesis 14:1-9 (structural): An earlier narrative of a confederation of kings waging war together in the region; provides a broader ancient Near Eastern parallel to the multi-king alliance in Joshua 11:1.

Parallels

  • Joshua 12:8-24 (structural): A parallel catalogue: Joshua 12 lists the kings and territories conquered in the land of Canaan, repeating the same type of regional/kingship summary as Josh.11:2– the administrative/geographical enumeration of conquered polities.
  • Joshua 10:40 (thematic): A summary statement of Joshua's campaigns that, like Josh.11:2, frames conquest in terms of broad geographic sweep (from Kadesh‑barnea to Gaza, Hebron, etc.), paralleling the territorial emphasis of the verse.
  • Judges 1:4-7 (thematic): An independent account of Israel's seizures of towns and regions (e.g., hill country, cities), thematically parallel in describing military activity and control of Canaanite regions following initial conquest.
  • Numbers 34:3-5 (verbal): An earlier prescription of the land’s borders using geographic markers; parallels Josh.11:2 in its concern with territorial delimitations and named regions of Canaan.
  • Deuteronomy 11:24 (thematic): A promise of control over broad territorial extents ('from the wilderness to Lebanon, from the river to the sea'), thematically echoing the territorial scope and regional language found in Josh.11:2.

Parallels

  • Exodus 3:8 (verbal): God's promise to bring Israel into a land 'flowing with milk and honey' and lists the Canaanite peoples to be dispossessed (Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites), matching the tribal names in Joshua 11:3.
  • Deuteronomy 7:1 (verbal): Deuteronomy enumerates the nations Israel will defeat on entering Canaan (Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, Jebusites), paralleling Joshua's catalogue of peoples.
  • Genesis 15:19-21 (verbal): God's covenantal promise to Abram lists many of the same Canaanite groups (Perizzites, Rephaim, Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites, Jebusites), providing an ancestral background to the tribal names in Joshua 11:3.
  • Judges 3:3 (structural): Specifies that some Hivites lived 'in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal-hermon unto the entering in of Hamath,' echoing Joshua's reference to the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah and the geographical framing of these peoples.

Alternative generated candidates

  • Deuteronomy 7:2 (thematic): Command to 'devote to destruction' the nations of Canaan so they will not remain—provides the Deuteronomic basis for Joshua's action and language about making no standing place for them.
  • Joshua 6:17-21 (verbal): Narrative parallel within Joshua: the dedication and complete destruction of Jericho (herem) uses similar vocabulary and fulfills the same pattern of divinely ordained extermination described in Josh.11:20.

When Jabin king of Hazor heard, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph. And to the kings who were north, in the hill country and in the valley, in the Arabah and the Negev, at the Sea of Chinnereth, in the lowland, and in the coastal districts of Dor by the sea.

The Canaanite from the east and from the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite beneath Mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah. And they went out, all their hosts with them—an exceedingly great multitude, like the sand that is on the seashore—with many horses and very many chariots.

All these kings made themselves firm; they came and encamped together by the waters of Merom to fight against Israel. And the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not fear them, for by tomorrow at this time I have given all of them slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.” So Joshua and all the warriors with him came upon them suddenly by the waters of Merom and struck them down. And the LORD gave them into the hand of Israel; they struck them and pursued them as far as Great Sidon, and Misrephoth‑maim, and the Valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they struck them until there was no survivor left. And Joshua did to them as the LORD had commanded him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire. And Joshua returned at that time and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms.

They put every person in it to the sword; they devoted them to destruction—no one was left alive—and Hazor they burned with fire. And Joshua captured all the cities of those kings and their kings; he struck them with the edge of the sword and devoted them, just as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded.

Only the cities that stood on their mounds Israel did not burn, except Hazor alone which Joshua burned.

All the plunder of those cities and the livestock the Israelites took for themselves; but all the people they struck with the sword and utterly destroyed—no one was left alive.

As the LORD had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua; and Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses. So Joshua took all that land—the hill country and all the Negev, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah, and the hill country of Israel and its lowland.
