Joshua 11:1-9
1Now whenH1961 JabinH2985 kingH4428 of HazorH2674 heard about these thingsH8085, he sent wordH7971 toH413 JobabH3103 kingH4428 of MadonH4068; toH413 the kingsH4428 of ShimronH8110H413H4428 and AchshaphH407; 2toH413 the kingsH4428 of the northH6828 in the mountainsH2022, in the ArabahH6160 southH5045 of ChinnerethH3672, in the foothillsH8219,1 and in Naphoth-dorH5316H17562 to the westH3220; 3to the CanaanitesH3669 in the eastH4217 and westH3220; to the AmoritesH567, HittitesH2850, PerizzitesH6522, and JebusitesH2983 in the hill countryH2022; and to the HivitesH2340 at the foot ofH8478 HermonH2768 in the landH776 of MizpahH4709.
4SoH1992 these kings came outH3318 withH5973 allH3605 their armiesH4264, a multitudeH5971 as numerousH7227 as the sandH2344 onH5921 the seashoreH8193H3220, along with a great numberH7227H3966 of horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393. 5AllH3605 theseH428 kingsH4428 joined forcesH3259 and encampedH935H2583 atH413 the watersH4325 of MeromH4792 to fightH3898 againstH5973 IsraelH3478.
6Then the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 JoshuaH3091, “Do notH408 be afraidH3372 of themH6440, forH3588 by thisH2063 timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 IH595 will deliverH5414 all of themH3605 slainH2491 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478. You are to hamstringH6131 their horsesH5483 andH853 burn upH8313H784 their chariotsH4818.”
7So byH5921 the watersH4325 of MeromH4792, JoshuaH3091 and his wholeH3605 armyH4421H5973H5971 cameH935 upon themH5921 suddenlyH6597 and attackedH5307 them, 8and the LORDH3068 delivered themH5414 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, who struck them downH5221 and pursued themH7291 all the way toH5704 GreaterH7227 SidonH6721 and Misrephoth-maimH4956, and eastwardH4217 as far asH5704H4956 the ValleyH1237 of MizpehH4708. They struck them downH5221H5704, leavingH7604 noH1115 survivorsH8300. 9JoshuaH3091 treatedH6213 them asH834 the LORDH3068 had toldH559 him; he hamstrungH6131 their horsesH5483 and burned upH8313H784 their chariotsH4818.
