IN this Tribe of Nephtalim, was that famous Citie of Iabin, in Iosua's time called A∣sor (or after the Chaldaean Paraphrast, Haszor) by Iosephus, Asora; by Iunius * 1.1 Chatzor: which Laicstan names Hesron; the Regall Citie, and Metropolis of Canaan: seated in the West part of Nephtalim, towards Asher. In this Citie was that great Rendenous, and assembly of those foure and twenty Kings against Iosua: who being all ouer∣throwne, slaine, and scattered, this their powerfull Citie was by Iosua taken and burnt to dust. But in processe of time the same being rebuilt by the Canaanites, a se∣cond King Iabin, 137. yeeres after the death of this first Iabin, inuaded the Israelites: and being ordained of God to punish their Idolatry, he preuailed against them, and [unspec 20] held them in a miserable seruitude twentie yeeres: till Debora the Prophetesse ouer∣threw Sisera, Iabins Lieutenant, and his Armie, neere the Mountaine Tabor. This Citie Salomon restored at such time as he also reedified Gezar, burnt by Pharao of Ae∣gypt, with a 1.2 Megido, Bethoron, and other Cities; but about 260. yeeres after, it fell into the hands of Teglatphalasar, King of the Assyrians. It is now, saith Adrichomius, called Antiopia: it was one of the principall Cities of Decapolis. There is another Ci∣tie of this name in the Territory of Beniamin, seated on the confines of Ascalon, cal∣led the new Hazor, b 1.3 saith Hierome. [unspec 30]
