Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(observed). (1) King of Hazor (Josh. 11:1-14). (2) Another king of Hazor, defeated by Barak (Judg. 4:2-24).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
1. King of Hazor in the north, who, with confederate kings, raised an enormous army “as the sand that is upon the sea shore,” but was signally defeated by Joshua, after he had overthrown the confederacy in the south (Josh. 11:1-11). Thus early in the history of Israel the kings of the south and the north appear on the scene, and perish.
2. Another king of Hazor, who oppressed Israel twenty years; he was defeated by Deborah and Barak (Judg. 4:2-24). Psalm 83:9 calls upon God to do to the great northern confederacy in the last days as was done to this king.
