JFB: Jos 11:1-9 - And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things

The scene of the sacred narrative is here shifted to the north of Canaan, where a still more extensive confederacy was formed among the ruling powers to oppose the further progress of the Israelites. Jabin ("the Intelligent"), which seems to have been a hereditary title (Jdg 4:2), took the lead, from Hazor being the capital of the northern region (Jos 11:10). It was situated on the borders of lake Merom. The other cities mentioned must have been in the vicinity though their exact position is unknown.

Poole: Jos 11:3 - The Hivite under Hermon // Mizpeh

The Canaanites properly so called lived part of them on the east near Jordan, and part on the west near the sea, and both are here united.

The Hivite under Hermon that dwelt under Mount Hermon in the north of Canaan, whereby they are differenced from those Hivites who lived in Gibeon; of which before.

Mizpeh that Mizpeh which was in the northern part of Gilead; of which Gen 31:49 Jud 11:29 . But there were other cities called by that name, which signifying a watching-place, might be easily applied to several places of good prospect. Besides this, there is one Mizpeh of Judah, Jos 15:38 ; another of Benjamin, Jos 18:26 ; a third in Moab, 1Sa 22:3 .

Haydock: Jos 11:3 - Chanaanite // Maspha

Chanaanite. Some lived near the Jordan, others upon the Mediterranean. ---

Maspha. Probably where Laban and Jacob had met, Genesis xxxi. 48. Hermon lay to the east of Libanus. (Calmet) ---

There was another Hermon near the torrent of Cisson. (Menochius)

Gill: Jos 11:3 - And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west // and to the Amorite, and to the Hittite, and to the Perizzite // and the Jebusite in the mountains // and to the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh

And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west,.... That is, that particular nation of the seven so called, part of which dwelt in the eastern part of the land, by the dead sea, and by the coast of Jordan, Num 13:29; and others dwelt on the coast of the Mediterranean sea, which was to the west of the land:

and to the Amorite, and to the Hittite, and to the Perizzite: which were scattered about in several parts of the country:

and the Jebusite in the mountains; in the mountainous part of Judea, in the mountains about Jerusalem, and which they still inhabited, and did to the times of David:

and to the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh, so described to distinguish them from the Gibeonites, who were also Hivites. Mizpeh is the place, as Kimchi thinks, where the people of Israel are often said to meet together; which he supposes they did, on account of the great salvation wrought here in Joshua's time. Hermon was a mountain that adjoined to Lebanon, where it is certain some of the Hivites dwelt, Jdg 3:3.
