יהושע, פרק י״א, פסוק ב׳

After securing the southern territories, the military campaign shifts its focus toward a new threat: the organization of a northern coalition of kings [מלבי״ם]. These enemy armies gather from a wide geographic footprint, mobilizing across diverse landscapes throughout the land.

The troops assemble from several distinct terrains, including the flat plains [מצודת ציון] and the specific area located north of the mountain region [רד״ק ומלבי״ם]. Forces also march from the territory south of the Sea of Galilee, an area often known as Ginosar. This region was made up of a cluster of neighboring settlements and plots of land rather than a single location, and it was famous for its exceptionally fertile soil and highly praised fruit [רד״ק].

Finally, the coalition draws additional strength from the western coastal districts. These troops arrive from the provinces and surrounding areas of the city of Dor, positioned along the shores of the Mediterranean Sea [רש״י וביאור שטיינזלץ].
