Joshua 11:7-15

7Joshua and his whole army caught them by surprise at the Waters of Merom and attacked them.

8The Lord handed them over to Israel and they struck them down and chased them all the way to Greater Sidon, Misrephoth Maim, and the Mizpah Valley to the east. They struck them down until no survivors remained.

9Joshua did to them as the Lord had commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.

10At that time Joshua turned, captured Hazor, and struck down its king with the sword, for Hazor was at that time the leader of all these kingdoms.

11They annihilated everyone who lived there with the sword – no one who breathed remained – and burned Hazor.

12Joshua captured all these royal cities and all their kings and annihilated them with the sword, as Moses the Lord’s servant had commanded.

13But Israel did not burn any of the cities located on mounds, except for Hazor; it was the only one Joshua burned.

14The Israelites plundered all the goods of these cities and the cattle, but they totally destroyed all the people and allowed no one who breathed to live.

15Moses the Lord’s servant passed on the Lord’s commands to Joshua, and Joshua did as he was told. He did not ignore any of the commands the Lord had given Moses.
