Joshua 11:1-14
1And it came to pass, when JabinH2985 kingH4428 of HazorH2674 had heardH8085 those things, that he sentH7971 to JobabH3103 kingH4428 of MadonH4068, and to the kingH4428 of ShimronH8110, and to the kingH4428 of AchshaphH407, 2And to the kingsH4428 that were on the northH6828 of the mountainsH2022, and of the plainsH6160 southH5045 of ChinnerothH3672, and in the valleyH8219, and in the bordersH5299 of DorH1756 on the westH3220, 3And to the CanaaniteH3669 on the eastH4217 and on the westH3220, and to the AmoriteH567, and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, and the JebusiteH2983 in the mountainsH2022, and to the HiviteH2340 under HermonH2768 in the landH776 of MizpehH4709. 4And they went outH3318, they and all their armiesH4264 with them, muchH7227 peopleH5971, even as the sandH2344 that is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193 in multitudeH7230, with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 veryH3966 manyH7227. 5And when all these kingsH4428 were met togetherH3259, they cameH935 and pitchedH2583 togetherH3162 at the watersH4325 of MeromH4792, to fightH3898 against IsraelH3478.1
6And YhwhH3068 saidH559 unto JoshuaH3091, Be not afraidH3372 becauseH6440 of them: for to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256 will I deliver them upH5414 all slainH2491 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478: thou shalt hamstringH6131 their horsesH5483, and burnH8313 their chariotsH4818 with fireH784. 7So JoshuaH3091 cameH935, and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with him, against them by the watersH4325 of MeromH4792 suddenlyH6597; and they fell uponH5307 them. 8And YhwhH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221 them, and chasedH7291 them unto greatH7227 SidonH6721, and unto Misrephoth–maimH4956, and unto the valleyH1237 of MizpehH4708 eastwardH4217; and they smoteH5221 them, until they leftH7604 them none remainingH8300.23 9And JoshuaH3091 didH6213 unto them as YhwhH3068 badeH559 him: he hamstrungH6131 their horsesH5483, and burntH8313 their chariotsH4818 with fireH784.
10And JoshuaH3091 at that timeH6256 turned backH7725, and tookH3920 HazorH2674, and smoteH5221 the kingH4428 thereof with the swordH2719: for HazorH2674 beforetimeH6440 was the headH7218 of all those kingdomsH4467. 11And they smoteH5221 all the soulsH5315 that were therein with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, utterly destroyingH2763 them: there was not any leftH3498 to breatheH5397: and he burntH8313 HazorH2674 with fireH784.4 12And all the citiesH5892 of those kingsH4428, and all the kingsH4428 of them, did JoshuaH3091 takeH3920, and smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and he utterly destroyedH2763 them, as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of YhwhH3068 commandedH6680. 13But as for the citiesH5892 that stoodH5975 still in their strengthH8510, IsraelH3478 burnedH8313 none of them, saveH2108 HazorH2674 only; that did JoshuaH3091 burnH8313.5 14And all the spoilH7998 of these citiesH5892, and the cattleH929, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 took for a preyH962 unto themselves; but every manH120 they smoteH5221 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, until they had destroyedH8045 them, neither leftH7604 they any to breatheH5397.
