Isaiah 9

¹    Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed,

    As when at first He lightly esteemed

    The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,

    And afterward more heavily oppressed her,

    By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,

    In Galilee of the Gentiles.

²    The people who walked in darkness

    Have seen a great light;

    Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,

    Upon them a light has shined.

Gilgal Refaim  or Rujm el-Hiri

The Gilgal is the Israeli Stonehenge.
Gilgal or Galgal in Hebrew means a circle. Refaim means ghosts or giants hence "Wheel of Ghosts" or "Wheel of Spirits." The Refaim or Rephaites were a race of giant people that lived in the Bashan, the current Golan today.

The site maybe an ancient observatory and/or stellar calendar. The site was not a defensive position or a residential quarter but most likely a ritual center, possibly linked to the cult of the dead or other pagan dieties.

The Refaim were ancient Caananite Ba'al cult worshippers a human sacrifice cult originating in Syria.

Tel Hazor

House of the Kings the North Gate

 A stronghold of the Canaanites in the mountains north of Lake Merom (Josh. 11:1-5). Jabin the king with his allied tribes here encountered Joshua in a great battle. Joshua gained a signal victory, which virtually completed his conquest of Canaan (Josh. 11:10-13). This city was, however, afterwards rebuilt by the Canaanites, and was ruled by a king with the same hereditary name of Jabin. His army, under a noted leader of the name of Sisera, swept down upon the south, aiming at the complete subjugation of the country. This powerful army was met by the Israelites under Barak, who went forth by the advice of the prophetess Deborah. The result was one of the most remarkable victories for Israel recorded in the Old Testament (Josh. 19:36; Judg. 4:2; 1 Sam. 12:9). The city of Hazor was taken and occupied by the Israelites. It was fortified by Solomon to defend the entrance into the kingdom from Syria and Assyria. When Tiglath-pileser, the Assyrian king, invaded the land, this was one of the first cities he captured, carrying its inhabitants captive into Assyria (2 Kings 15:29). It has been identified with Khurbet Harrah, 2 1/2 miles south-east of Kedesh.
