I don't quite get this, especially as Judges does not speak of Hazor 
being destroyed. Perhaps these are two different accounts of part of 
the same campaign against the same king Jabin (although this causes 
problems for traditional chronology) leading to just one burning of 
Hazor.

There was only one destroyed occupation level of Hazor which would fit the 
Settlement Period, so either the Joshua narrative is true or the Judges 
narrative is true, not both. Considering the penchant of the author of 
Joshua to invent "salvation history", I would opt for the Judges narrative 
being true.
