The king of Madon
on Joshua 12:19-24
Hazor at verse 19 is the one the narrative singled out, since Joshua 11:10 says Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms, and a king of Hazor named Jabin is oppressing Israel again by Judges 4:2. Taanach, Megiddo and Dor are counted at verses 21 to 23, and they are three of the five towns Judges 1:27 says Manasseh never drove out. The chapter ends on a number instead of a sentence, all the kings thirty and one, which is the conquest reduced to a total a reader can check.
