Harosheth of the Gentiles
VIEW:18 DATA:01-04-2020
So called from the mixed races that inhabited it. A city in Naphtali W. of the lake Merom (El Huleh), from which the Jordan passes in an undivided stream. Sisera, captain of Jabin II king of Canaan, resided there (Jdg_4:2). Jabin's own residence and seat of government was Hazor, N.W. of Harosheth. To Harosheth Barak pursued Jabin's routed army. Joshua (Jos_11:6; Jos_11:10) had 150 years before routed the confederate kings of northern Canaan, headed by Jabin I, at the waters of Merom, the first occasion of Israel's having to encounter "chariots and horses." Joshua "houghed (hamstrung) their horses and burned their chariots with fire" in firm faith and obedience to God's prohibition against their fighting the foe with his own weapon (Deu_17:16).
Unbelieving fear subsequently altered Israel's policy, so that they shrank from battling with the enemy's chariots in plains such as the Jordan valley, beside which Harosheth stood (Jos_17:16-18; Jdg_1:19), and at last adopted chariots in their armies under the kings: 2Sa_8:4, David; 2Sa_15:1, Absalom; 1Ki_1:5, Adonijah; 1Ki_4:26, Solomon. Hazor was rebuilt in the interval between Jabin I and Jabin II; the latter of whom was the first who threw off Israel's yoke and oppressed Israel in turn (for their previous oppressors, the kings of Mesopotamia and Moab, Chushan Rishathaim and Eglon, were outside not within the promised land, as Jabin II). After the defeat by Barak, Hazor and Harosheth and northern Canaan remained permanently in Israel's hand.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.
a city supposed to be situated near Hazor, in the northern parts of Canaan, called afterward Upper Galilee, or Galilee of the Gentiles, for the same reason that this place probably obtained that title, namely, from being less inhabited by Jews, and being near the great resorts of the Gentiles, Tyre and Sidon. This is said to have been the residence of Sisera, the general of the armies of Jabin, king of Canaan, who reigned at Hazor.

Har?osheth of the Gentiles, a city supposed to have been situated near Hazor, in the northern parts of Canaan, called afterwards Upper Galilee, or Galilee of the Gentiles [GALILEE]. Harosheth is said to have been the residence of Sisera, the general of the armies of Jabin, king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. To this place Jabin himself was pursued and defeated by Deborah and Barak (Jdg_4:2; Jdg_4:13; Jdg_4:16).
