When King Jabin of Hazor heard about Israel's victory in the south, he was afraid. So he joined with many northern kingdoms to form a huge army, more numerous than the sand by the sea! They set up camp by the Waters of Merom. God encouraged Joshua not to be afraid and promised to hand over all the enemies to Israel. Joshua led a surprise attack and defeated the mighty army, chasing them far away. Then he turned back to capture Hazor and burned it down. After many long battles, Joshua took the whole land just as God had commanded Moses. Then the land had peace, no more wars!
King Jabin gathered many northern kings to fight against Israel with a huge army. But God promised Joshua he would surely win. Joshua trusted God, surprised the enemy, and gained a great victory. This teaches us that no matter how big or scary our difficulties seem, if we trust God's words and follow His leading, we don't need to be afraid. When we face problems that seem impossible, remember that God's power is greater than any obstacle, and His promises never fail!
