Joshua 11

Northern Canaan Taken

1Then it cameH1961 aboutH1961, when JabinH2985 kingH4428 of 1HazorH2674 heardH8085 about it, that he sentH7971 word to JobabH3103 kingH4428 of MadonH4068, to the kingH4428 of ShimronH8110, to the kingH4428 of AchshaphH407, 2and to the kingsH4428 whoH834 were of the northH6828 in the hillH2022 countryH2022, and in the 2ArabahH6160--southH5045 of 3ChinnerothH3672 and in the lowlandH8219, and on the 4heightsH5299 of DorH1756 on the westH3220-- 3to the CanaaniteH3669 on the eastH4217 and on the westH3220, and the AmoriteH567, the HittiteH2850, the PerizziteH6522, and the JebusiteH2983 in the hillH2022 countryH2022, and 5the HiviteH2340 6atH8478 theH8478 footH8478 ofH8478 7HermonH2768 in the landH776 of 8MizpehH4709. 4Then they cameH3318 outH3318, they and allH3605 their armiesH4264 with them, 9as manyH7227 peopleH5971 as the sandH2344 that is on the seashoreH3220H8193, with veryH3966 manyH7227 horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393. 5So allH3605 of theseH428 kingsH4428 gatheredH3259 togetherH3259, and cameH935 and encampedH2583 togetherH3164 at the watersH4325 of MeromH4792, to fightH3898 againstH5973 IsraelH3478.

6Yet the LordH3068 saidH559 to JoshuaH3091, “10Do not beH3372 afraidH3372 becauseH4480H6440 of them, for tomorrowH4279 at thisH2088 timeH6256 I am going to turnH5414 allH3605 of them overH5414 to IsraelH3478 as good as deadH2491; you shall 11hamstringH6136 their horsesH5483 and burnH8313 their chariotsH4818 with fireH784.” 7So JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with him cameH935 upon them suddenlyH6597 at the watersH4325 of MeromH4792, and attackedH5307 them. 8And the LordH3068 handedH3027H5414 them overH5414 to IsraelH3478, so that they 12defeatedH5221 them, and pursuedH7291 them as farH5704 as GreatH7227 SidonH6721, and 13Misrephoth-maimH4956, and the ValleyH1237 of 14MizpehH4708 to the eastH4217; and they struckH5221 them untilH5704 noH1115 survivorH8300 was leftH7604 to them. 9And JoshuaH3091 didH6213 to them justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had toldH559 him; he 15hamstrungH6136 their horsesH5483 and burnedH8313 their chariotsH4818 with fireH784.

10Then JoshuaH3091 turnedH7725 backH7725 at that timeH6256 and capturedH3920 16HazorH2674, and struckH5221 its kingH4428 with the swordH2719; for HazorH2674 previouslyH6440 was the headH7218 of allH3605 theseH428 kingdomsH4467. 1117They struckH5221 everyH3605 personH5315 whoH834 was in it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, 18utterlyH2763 destroyingH2763 them; there was noH3808H3605 one leftH3498 whoH5397 breathedH5397. And he burnedH8313 HazorH2674 with fireH784. 12JoshuaH3091 capturedH3920 allH3605 the citiesH5892 of theseH428 kingsH4428, and allH3605 their kingsH4428; and he struckH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719 and utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 them, justH3512 19as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LordH3068 had commandedH6680. 13HoweverH7534, IsraelH3478 did not burnH8313 anyH3605 citiesH5892 that stoodH5975 on their moundsH8510, exceptH2108 HazorH2674 aloneH905, which JoshuaH3091 burnedH8313. 14And 20allH3605 the spoilsH7998 of theseH428 citiesH5892 and the cattleH929, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 tookH962 as their plunderH962; but they struckH5221 everyH3605 personH120 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, untilH5704 they had destroyedH8045 them. They leftH7604 noH3808 oneH3605 breathingH5397. 15JustH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 His servantH5650 MosesH4872, soH3651 MosesH4872 commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091, and soH3651 JoshuaH3091 didH6213; he leftH5493 nothingH3808H1697 undoneH5493H3808 of allH3605 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.

16So JoshuaH3091 tookH3947 allH3605 that landH776: 21the hillH2022 countryH2022 and allH3605 the 22NegevH5045, allH3605 the landH776 of GoshenH1657, the lowlandH8219, 23the ArabahH6160, the hillH2022 countryH2022 of IsraelH3478 and its lowlandH8219 17from 24MountH2022 HalakH2510, that risesH5927 toward SeirH8165, even as farH5704 as Baal-gadH1171 in the ValleyH1237 of LebanonH3844 25atH8478 theH8478 footH8478 ofH8478 MountH2022 HermonH2768. And he capturedH3920 26allH3605 their kingsH4428, and struckH5221 them and putH4191 them toH4191 deathH4191. 18JoshuaH3091 wagedH6213 warH4421 a longH7227 timeH3117 with allH3605 theseH428 kingsH4428. 19There was not a cityH5892 whichH834 madeH7999 peaceH7999 with the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 exceptH1115 27the HivitesH2340 livingH3427 in GibeonH1391; they tookH3947 them allH3605 in battleH4421. 2028For it was of the LordH3068 to 29hardenH2388 their heartsH3820, to meetH7122 IsraelH3478 in battleH4421 inH4616 orderH4616 thatH4616 he might 30utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them, that they might 31receiveH1961 noH1115 mercyH8467, but that he might destroyH8045 them, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.

21Then JoshuaH3091 cameH935 at that timeH6256 and eliminatedH3772 32the AnakimH6062 from the hillH2022 countryH2022, from HebronH2275, DebirH1688, AnabH6024, and from allH3605 the hillH2022 countryH2022 of JudahH3063 and allH3605 the hillH2022 countryH2022 of IsraelH3478. JoshuaH3091 utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 them with their citiesH5892. 22There were noH3808 AnakimH6062 leftH3498 in the landH776 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; onlyH7534 in GazaH5804, 33GathH1661, and 34AshdodH795 some remainedH7604. 23So JoshuaH3091 tookH3947 the wholeH3605 landH776, in accordance with everythingH3605 that the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 to MosesH4872; and 35JoshuaH3091 gaveH5414 it as an inheritanceH5159 to IsraelH3478 according to their divisionsH4256 by their tribesH7626. 36So the landH776 wasH8252 atH8252 restH8252 from warH4421.
