Harosheth
Sisera's base, the Canaanite general who led Jabin's iron chariots. Barak broke his army at the Kishon and chased what was left back here. Where exactly it was is still argued over, near Mount Carmel or a district name for several settlements.

Fortified town on the northern edge of the plain of Jezreel, home base of Sisera, the Canaanite general who commanded Jabin's iron chariots (Judges 4:2). Barak's forces routed Sisera's army at the Kishon River and pursued the survivors back to Harosheth, breaking Canaanite power in the region (Judges 4:13-16). Its exact site is debated, with candidates ranging from a fortress near the Kishon's outlet at the foot of Mount Carmel to a district name covering several Canaanite settlements rather than a single town.
