A northern Canaanite city whose king joined Jabin of Hazor's coalition against Joshua
GalileeMadon was the seat of King Jobab — one of four allied Canaanite kingdoms (with Hazor, Shimron, and Achshaph) that Jabin of Hazor summoned to crush Joshua at the Waters of Merom (Joshua 11:1-9, 12:19). Joshua surprised them at the springs, struck them down, and pursued them as far as Greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, burning Hazor itself. The site is generally identified with Qarn Hattin near the famous Horns of Hattin west of the Sea of Galilee — a strategic perch above the upper Jordan that made a natural rallying point for any northern coalition.
