Joshua 11:1-9
1Then it came about, when Jabin king of 1Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon and to the king of Shimron and to the king of Achshaph, 2and to the kings who were of the north in the hill country, and in the 2Arabah--south of 3Chinneroth and in the lowland and on the 4heights of Dor on the west-- 3to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Jebusite in the hill country, and 5the Hivite 6at the foot of 7Hermon in the land of 8Mizpeh. 4They came out, they and all their armies with them, 9as many people as the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots. 5So all of these kings having agreed to meet, came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6Then the Lord said to Joshua, “10Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel; you shall 11hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.” 7So Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and attacked them. 8The Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, so that they 12defeated them, and pursued them as far as Great Sidon and 13Misrephoth-maim and the valley of 14Mizpeh to the east; and they struck them until no survivor was left to them. 9Joshua did to them as the Lord had told him; he 15hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
