Adamah is unknown, as also Ramah, which must not be mistaken for the Ramah of Joshua 19:29.

Hazor See above, Joshua 11:1; Joshua 11:6-10. Dr Robinson would identify it with Tel Khuraibeh, Captain Wilson and Anderson with Tel Hara. "Here were found the remains of an ancient fortress, a city with its walls and towers still to be traced, and on the eastern slope, the usual concomitants of old ruins, broken glass and pottery." Here, they both agree, was the long-lost Hazor, which "lay over" the lake Hûleh. "The position," says Captain Wilson, "is one of great strength and overhangs the lake. Every argument which Robinson adduces in favour of Tel Khuraibehapplies with much greater force to these ruins." Dr Porter, however, refuses to accept either theory, arguing that as the strength of Jabin lay in chariots, "we must look for Hazor on the lower slopes of the mountains, so as to be easily accessible for chariots."
