It was one of the cities that formed an alliance against Joshua and the Israelites, as recorded in <a href="/joshua/10.htm">Joshua 10</a>. The king of Jarmuth, Piram, joined forces with other Amorite kings to attack Gibeon, which had made peace with Israel. This alliance and subsequent defeat highlight the resistance of Canaanite cities to Israelite conquest and God's promise to deliver these lands into Israel's hands. Jarmuth's inclusion in the list of defeated kings underscores the comprehensive nature of Joshua's campaign. Archaeological evidence suggests that Jarmuth was a significant fortified city during the Late Bronze Age, aligning with the biblical narrative of its importance and strength.<p><b>the king of Lachish, one;</b><br>Lachish was another major Canaanite city in the Shephelah, known for its strategic military importance. The king of Lachish, Japhia, also participated in the coalition against Israel. Lachish's defeat is significant due to its role as a fortified city and its later prominence in the Kingdom of Judah. The city's archaeological remains, including siege ramps and destruction layers, corroborate the biblical account of its conquest. Lachish is mentioned multiple times in the Bible, including in the accounts of the Assyrian siege during the reign of King Hezekiah (<a href="/2_kings/18-14.htm">2 Kings 18:14, 17</a>; <a href="/isaiah/36-2.htm">Isaiah 36:2</a>).
