A:It would be easy to say that the Israelites, under the leadership of Joshua, conquered Canaan. However, scholars say that this was not really the case. By the late 1970s a consensus was emerging, particularly in America, that the Israelites had been peasant farmers in Canaan who withdrew or revolted from the influence of the city states and formed a new society w'ith a tribal structure and an egalitarian ideology. The hypothesis that they had revolted agaisnt a ruling class no longer has much scholarly support, with the current consensus being that the Hebrew people simply withdrew into the hitherto sparsely populated interior and created their own settlements. There was neither an invasion nor even a peasant revolt.

It was Assyria that defeated the Canaanites, including Aram, Israel and the coastal regions from Phoenicia south to Philistia. Judah was allowed to remain autonomous as a vassal state, until the new power in the region, Babylon, conquered it.
