What Does Joshua 12:20 Mean?
Shimronmeron and Achshaph were among the northern cities whose kings answered Hazor's call to war and were swept up in the same defeat at Merom. Their names are now numbered with the conquered.
The list of fallen allies grows, and with it the picture of a complete victory. Those who joined themselves to the great rebellion against God's people shared its end. Standing together in opposition did not save them. The record quietly teaches that no alliance, however broad, can prevail against the purpose of the Lord, who scatters the counsel of those who set themselves against Him.
