Joshua 11:7-15
7Joshua and all his troops arrived suddenly at the Springs of Merom and attacked the Canaanite armies.
8The Lord handed them over to Israel, and the Israelites defeated them. The Israelites chased them as far as Great Sidon, Misrephoth Maim, and the valley of Mizpah in the east. There were no survivors.
9Joshua disabled their horses and burned their chariots, as the Lord had told him.
10Then Joshua turned back and captured Hazor. He killed its king with a sword. (Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.)
11They claimed everyone for the Lord by destroying them with swords. Not one person survived. Joshua also burned Hazor.
12So Joshua captured all these cities and their kings. He claimed them for the Lord by destroying them, as the Lord’s servant Moses had commanded him.
13Israel did not burn cities built on mounds. However, Joshua made an exception and burned Hazor.
14The people of Israel took all the loot and livestock from these cities. But they put everyone to death until they were all destroyed. Not one person survived.
15So Joshua carried out what the Lord had commanded his servant Moses and what Moses had commanded him. He did not leave out anything the Lord had commanded Moses.
