a place name meaning 'heights,' location of the Waters of Merom in northern Canaan
Merom appears exclusively in the phrase 'waters of Merom' in Joshua 11:5, 7, the site where Joshua defeated a northern Canaanite coalition led by Jabin king of Hazor. The Israelites came 'suddenly' to the waters of Merom and attacked. Most scholars identify this with Lake Huleh (modern Hula Valley) in upper Galilee, north of the Sea of Galilee, though the identification is debated. The name means 'height' or 'elevation,' appropriate for the area's geography. This victory secured Israelite control of northern Canaan, paralleling the southern and central campaigns.

1. sense 1 — Proper name of a location in northern Canaan, known for its waters. Joshua 11:5 describes the Canaanite kings gathering 'at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel,' and verse 7 records Joshua's surprise attack there. The definite phrase 'the waters of Merom' suggests a known landmark, likely a lake or major spring. Traditional identification with Lake Huleh fits the geographical and strategic context—a northern gathering point for coalition forces. The victory at Merom completed Joshua's conquest of Canaan's major regions. 2×
