It was a major city in the northern kingdom of Israel and had been previously conquered by Joshua (<a href="/joshua/11-10.htm">Joshua 11:10-11</a>). The reference to jackals indicates desolation and abandonment, as these animals are often associated with deserted places (<a href="/isaiah/34-13.htm">Isaiah 34:13</a>). This prophecy highlights the complete destruction and desolation that would come upon Hazor, emphasizing God's judgment against the nations surrounding Israel.<p><b>a desolation forever</b><br>The phrase "a desolation forever" underscores the permanence of Hazor's destruction. Historically, Hazor was rebuilt after its initial destruction by Joshua, but this prophecy indicates a future judgment that would leave it uninhabited indefinitely. This reflects the seriousness of God's judgment and serves as a warning to other nations. The use of "forever" is a common biblical hyperbole to stress the totality and completeness of the desolation (<a href="/jeremiah/25-12.htm">Jeremiah 25:12</a>).<p><b>No one will dwell there</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the total abandonment of Hazor. In the ancient Near East, cities were often rebuilt after destruction, but this prophecy indicates that Hazor would not be resettled. This can be seen as a fulfillment of divine judgment, where the city would no longer serve as a place of habitation or influence. The absence of inhabitants signifies the complete removal of life and activity, aligning with other prophetic declarations of desolation (<a href="/isaiah/13-20.htm">Isaiah 13:20</a>).<p><b>no man will abide there</b><br>The repetition of the idea that no one will live in Hazor reinforces the certainty of its desolation. This mirrors other biblical prophecies where cities are left uninhabited due to divine judgment (<a href="/zephaniah/2-13.htm">Zephaniah 2:13-15</a>). The phrase also serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of turning away from God and the inevitable judgment that follows. It reflects the broader theme of divine retribution found throughout the prophetic books, where nations are held accountable for their actions against God's people.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/hazor.htm">Hazor</a></b><br>An ancient city mentioned in the Bible, known for its strategic location and significance in trade and military.
