Joshua Defeats Jabin and His Allies

11When the news of Israel's victories reached King Jabin of Hazor, he sent word to King Jobab of Madon, to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph,H2985H4428H2674H8085H7971H3103H4428H4068H4428H8110H4428H407
2and to the kings in the hill country in the north, in the Jordan Valley south of Lake Galilee, in the foothills, and on the coast near Dor.H4428H6828H2022H6160H5045H3672H8219H5299H1756H3220
3He also sent word to the Canaanites on both sides of the Jordan, to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill country, as well as to the Hivites who lived at the foot of Mount Hermon in the land of Mizpah.H3669H4217H3220H567H2850H6522H2983H2022H2340H2768H776H4709
4They came with all their soldiers - an army with as many men as there are grains of sand on the seashore. They also had many horses and chariots.H3318H4264H7227H5971H2344H3220H8193H7230H5483H7393H3966H7227
5All of these kings joined forces and came together and set up camp at Merom Brook to fight against Israel.H4428H3259H935H2583H3162H4325H4792H3898H3478
6The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them. By this time tomorrow I will have killed all of them for Israel. You are to cripple their horses and burn their chariots."H3068H559H3091H3372H6440H4279H6256H5414H2491H6440H3478H6131H5483H8313H4818H784
7So Joshua and all his men attacked them by surprise at Merom Brook.H3091H935H5971H4421H4325H4792H6597H5307
8The LORD gave the Israelites victory over them; the Israelites attacked and pursued them as far north as Misrephoth Maim and Sidon, and as far east as the valley of Mizpah. The fight continued until none of the enemy was left alive.H3068H5414H3027H3478H5221H7291H7227H6721H4956H1237H4708H4217H5221H7604H8300
9Joshua did to them what the LORD had commanded: he crippled their horses and burned their chariots.H3091H6213H3068H559H6131H5483H8313H4818H784
10Joshua then turned back, captured Hazor and killed its king. (At that time Hazor was the most powerful of all those kingdoms.)H3091H6256H7725H3920H2674H5221H4428H2719H2674H6440H7218H4467
11They put everyone there to death; no one was left alive, and the city was burned.H5221H5315H6310H2719H2763H3498H5397H8313H2674H784
12Joshua captured all these cities and their kings, putting everyone to death, just as Moses, the LORD's servant, had commanded.H5892H4428H4428H3091H3920H5221H6310H2719H2763H4872H5650H3068H6680
13However, the Israelites did not burn any of the cities built on mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua did burn.H5892H5975H8510H3478H8313H2108H2674H3091H8313
14The people of Israel took all the valuables and livestock from these cities and kept them for themselves. But they put every person to death; no one was left alive.H7998H5892H929H1121H3478H962H120H5221H6310H2719H8045H7604H5397
15The LORD had given his commands to his servant Moses, Moses had given them to Joshua, and Joshua obeyed them. He did everything that the LORD had commanded Moses.H3068H6680H4872H5650H4872H6680H3091H6213H3091H5493H1697H5493H3068H6680H4872

The Territory Taken by Joshua

16Joshua captured all the land - the hill country and foothills, both north and south, all the area of Goshen and the dry country south of it, as well as the Jordan Valley.H3091H3947H776H2022H5045H776H1657H8219H6160H2022H3478H8219
17The territory extended from Mount Halak in the south near Edom, as far as Baalgad in the north, in the valley of Lebanon south of Mount Hermon.H2022H2510H5927H8165H1171H1237H3844H2022H2768H4428H3920H5221H4191
18Joshua was at war with the kings of this territory for a long time, but he captured them all and put them to death.H3091H6213H4421H7227H3117H4428
19The only city that made peace with the people of Israel was Gibeon, where some of the Hivites lived. All the others were conquered in battle.H5892H7999H1121H3478H2340H3427H1391H3947H4421
20The LORD had made them determined to fight the Israelites, so that they would be condemned to total destruction and all be killed without mercy. This was what the LORD had commanded Moses.H3068H2388H3820H7125H3478H4421H2763H8467H8045H3068H6680H4872
21At this time Joshua went and destroyed the race of giants called the Anakim who lived in the hill country - in Hebron, Debir, Anab, and in all the hill country of Judah and Israel. Joshua completely destroyed them and their cities.H6256H935H3091H3772H6062H2022H2275H1688H6024H2022H3063H2022H3478H3091H2763H5892
22None of the Anakim were left in the land of Israel; a few, however, were left in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod.H6062H3498H776H1121H3478H5804H1661H795H7604
23Joshua captured the whole land, as the LORD had commanded Moses. Joshua gave it to the Israelites as their own and divided it into portions, one for each tribe. So the people rested from war.H3091H3947H776H3068H1696H4872H3091H5414H5159H3478H4256H7626H776H8252H4421
