Joshua 11:7-15

7So Joshua and all his troops surprised them at the Waters of Merom and attacked them.

8The Lord handed them over to Israel, and they struck them down, pursuing them as far as greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and to the east as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. They struck them down, leaving no survivors.

9Joshua treated them as the Lord had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.

10At that time Joshua turned back, captured Hazor, and struck down its king with the sword, because Hazor had formerly been the leader of all these kingdoms.

11They struck down everyone in it with the sword, completely destroying them; he left no one alive. Then he burned Hazor.

12Joshua captured all these kings and their cities and struck them down with the sword. He completely destroyed them, as Moses the Lord’s servant had commanded.

13However, Israel did not burn any of the cities that stood on their mounds except Hazor, which Joshua burned.

14The Israelites plundered all the spoils and cattle of these cities for themselves. But they struck down every person with the sword until they had annihilated them, leaving no one alive.

15Just as the Lord had commanded his servant Moses, Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
