About this place
Harosheth-hagoyim was a Canaanite city that served as the headquarters for Sisera, the commander of the army of Jabin, the king of Hazor (Judg 4:2). Sisera gathered his 900 iron chariots and troops at Harosheth-hagoyim before engaging the Israelites led by Deborah and Barak at the Kishon River (Judg 4:13). After the Canaanites were defeated, Barak pursued them back to Harosheth-hagoyim and destroyed Sisera's army (Judg 4:16). The exact location of this city is uncertain, though some scholars propose it may have been near modern-day Tel Harashim in the Jezreel Valley.
