| Joshua 11:5 | And all these kings assembled together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. | Merom, or the lake of Semechon, according to most interpreters; though it is more probable, that the confederates would advance to meet Josue near the lake of Cisson, to the important pass 12 miles north of Samaria, in the canton of Meron, or Merone, Judges 4:10., and 5:18. This place was famous for the victory of Barac, and for the defeat of king Josias. |
