About Achshaph
A Canaanite royal city in Joshua’s time. Its king joined an alliance with Jabin, king of Hazor, against Israel in a battle at Merom (Joshua 11:1). After Israel’s victory, Achshaph’s king was one of 31 Canaanite kings defeated by Joshua (Joshua 12:20). This fulfilled God’s promise to give kings to Israel (Deuteronomy 7:24). The city of Achshaph was given to the tribe of Asher when the Israelites were dividing up the land of Canaan (Joshua 19:25).
