Cultural and Historical Background:Hoham was a king of Hebron, one of the major cities in the southern region of Canaan. During the time of Joshua, the Israelites were engaged in a campaign to take possession of the Promised Land. The coalition of Amorite kings, including Hoham, sought to resist the Israelite advance.
