11WHEN JABIN king of Hazor heard of this, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph,H2985H4428H2674H8085H7971H3103H4428H4068H4428H8110H4428H4072And to the kings who were in the north in the hill country and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth and in the lowland and in the heights of Dor on the west;H4428H6828H2022H6160H5045H3672H8219H5299H1756H32203To the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites below [Mount] Hermon in the land of Mizpah.H3669H4217H3220H567H2850H6522H2983H2022H2340H2768H776H47094And they went out with all their hosts, much people, like the sand on the seashore in number, with very many horses and chariots.H3318H4264H7227H5971H2344H3220H8193H7230H5483H7393H3966H72275And all these kings met and came and encamped together at the Waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.H4428H3259H935H2583H3162H4325H4792H3898H34786But the Lord said to Joshua, Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow by this time I will give them up all slain to Israel; you shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.H3068H559H3091H3372H6440H4279H6256H5414H2491H6440H3478H6131H5483H8313H4818H7847So Joshua and all the people of war with him came against them suddenly by the Waters of Merom and fell upon them.H3091H935H5971H4421H4325H4792H6597H53078And the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel, who smote them and chased them [toward] populous Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpah; they smote them until none remained.H3068H5414H3027H3478H5221H7291H7227H6721H4956H1237H4708H4217H5221H7604H83009And Joshua did to them as the Lord had commanded him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.H3091H6213H3068H559H6131H5483H8313H4818H78410And Joshua at that time turned back and took Hazor and smote its king with the sword; for Hazor previously was the head of all those kingdoms.H3091H6256H7725H3920H2674H5221H4428H2719H2674H6440H7218H446711They smote all the people in it with the sword, utterly destroying them; none were left alive, and he burned Hazor with fire.H5221H5315H6310H2719H2763H3498H5397H8313H2674H78412And Joshua took all the cities of those kings and all the kings and smote them with the sword, utterly destroying them, as Moses the servant of the Lord commanded.H5892H4428H4428H3091H3920H5221H6310H2719H2763H4872H5650H3068H668013But Israel burned none of the cities that stood [fortified] on their mounds--except Hazor only, which Joshua burned.H5892H5975H8510H3478H8313H2108H2674H3091H831314And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock the Israelites took for their booty; but every man they smote with the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left none who breathed.H7998H5892H929H1121H3478H962H120H5221H6310H2719H8045H7604H539715As the Lord had commanded Moses His servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses.H3068H6680H4872H5650H4872H6680H3091H6213H3091H5493H1697H5493H3068H6680H487216So Joshua took all that land: the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah [plain], the hill country of Israel and its lowland,H3091H3947H776H2022H5045H776H1657H8219H6160H2022H3478H821917From Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and slew them.H2022H2510H5927H8165H1171H1237H3844H2022H2768H4428H3920H5221H419118Joshua had waged war a long time [at least five years] with all those kings.H3091H6213H4421H7227H3117H442819Not a city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites, the people of Gibeon; all the others they took in battle.H5892H7999H1121H3478H2340H3427H1391H3947H442120For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, that [Israel] might destroy them utterly, and that without favor {and} mercy, as the Lord commanded Moses.H3068H2388H3820H7125H3478H4421H2763H8467H8045H3068H6680H487221Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim [large in stature] from the hill country: from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and the hill country of Israel. Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.H6256H935H3091H3772H6062H2022H2275H1688H6024H2022H3063H2022H3478H3091H2763H589222None of the Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod [of Philistia] did some remain.H6062H3498H776H1121H3478H5804H1661H795H760423So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses, and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their allotments by tribes. And the land had rest from war.H3091H3947H776H3068H1696H4872H3091H5414H5159H3478H4256H7626H776H8252H4421
