This verse lists the geographical regions from which kings gathered against Israel. Commentators identify these areas as the hill country of Galilee, the Jordan Valley south of the Sea of Galilee (called Chinneroth here, later Gennesaret), the coastal plains, and the strategic highlands around the port city of Dor. This detailed list emphasizes the vast and coordinated nature of the opposition, stretching across all of northern Canaan, highlighting the scale of the challenge Israel faced.
