Joshua 11:7-15
7So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them. 8And Yhwh delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth–maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.12 9And Joshua did unto them as Yhwh bade him: he hamstrung their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
10And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms. 11And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.3 12And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of Yhwh commanded. 13But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.4 14And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
15As Yhwh commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Yhwh commanded Moses.5
