Joshua 11:1-9

1Then it came about, when Jabin king of 1Hazor heard about it, that he sent word to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, 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, the Hittite, the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill country, and 5the Hivite 6at the foot of 7Hermon in the land of 8Mizpeh. 4Then they 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 gathered together, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

6Yet the Lord said to Joshua, “10Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I am going to turn all of them over to Israel as good as dead; 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 at the waters of Merom, and attacked them. 8And the Lord handed them over to 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. 9And Joshua did to them just as the Lord had told him; he 15hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
