After the rout at the waters of Merom, Joshua turns back to deal with Hazor, the city whose king, Jabin, had summoned the northern alliance in verse 1. The text notes that Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms, which explains its special treatment: Israel burned it, while other cities built on mounds were left standing.
