11:1 Yehoshua defeats the northern kings

11Now when King Yabin of Hatsor heard about all that, he sent to King Yovav of Madon and the kings of Shimron and Akshaf, 2as well as the kings from the hill country in the north and in the rift valley plains south of Lake Galilee, and in the lowlands and in the heights of Dor in the west, 3and the kings of the Canaanites both east and west, and the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and the Yebusites who lived in the hill country, and to the Hivites by Mt. Hermon in the Mitspah region. 4So they all came out with their warriors—so many people that they were as many as the grains of sand on the seashore, along with many horses and chariots. 5All those kings gathered together at the time they’d specified and took up positions at the Merom stream to fight against Israel.

6But Yahweh told Yehoshua, “Don’t be afraid that they look overwhelming, because tomorrow at this time, I’ll ensure that they’re all slain by Israel. You’ll hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.” 7Then Yehoshua and all his warriors went to Merom and attacked them without warning 8and Yahweh enabled them to defeat them. 9Then Yehoshua did what Yahweh had instructed him—he crippled their horses and set fire to their chariots.

10After that, Yehoshua returned to Hatsor city and captured it and killed the king—in the past it had been the head of all those kingdoms. 11They killed everything in the city—not leaving anything that breathes—and then set fire to it.

12So Yehoshua had captured all those kings and their cities, and completely destroyed them and their people just as Yahweh’s servant Mosheh had commanded. 13However, other than Hatsor, they didn’t burn any of the other more defensible cities built up on mounds. 14The Israelis took any valuables and any livestock from those cities, but they killed everyone and everything else. 15Yehoshua did everything exactly as Yahweh had instructed his servant Mosheh (and as Mosheh had then instructed him), not forgetting or ignoring anything.

11and_he/it_was when_heard Yāⱱīn/(Jabin) the_king of_Ḩāʦōr and_sent to Yōⱱāⱱ/(Jobab) the_king of_Mādōn and_near/to the_king of_Shimrōn and_near/to the_king of_ʼAkshāf.

4And_they_went_out they and_all armies_their with_them a_people numerous as_as_the_sand which [is]_on the_shore the_sea to_increase_in_number and_horses and_chariots many very.
5And_joined all the_kings the_these and_they_came and_camped together to the_water of_Mērōm to_fight with Yisrāʼēl/(Israel).

12And_DOM all the_cities the_kings the_these and_DOM all kings_their he_captured Yəhōshūˊa and_struck_them with_edge of_[the]_sword he_totally_destroyed DOM_them just_as he_had_commanded Mosheh the_servant of_YHWH.

11:16 Yehoshua controls the entire region

16Yehoshua conquered the whole region—the hill country and all the Negev, all of the Goshen region, the lowlands and the rift valley plains, the hill country of Israel and its lowlands 17from Mt. Halak downhill towards Seir, and as far as Baal-Gad in the Lebanon valley below Mt. Hermon. He attacked and captured all their kings and executed them. 18Yehoshua had spent quite some time battling with those kings. 19No city made peace with the Israelis except for the Hivites who lived in Gibeon—all the rest were taken in battle 20because it was Yahweh who’d made them stubborn so they’d fight against Israel and be completely destroyed without any mercy. Yes, they were annihilated just as Yahweh had instructed Mosheh.[ref]

21At that time, Yehoshua also went and exterminated the Anakites from the hill country, from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and all the hill country of Yehudah and Israel. He completely destroyed them from their cities. 22No descendants of Anak were left in the land of Israel, except that some remained in Gaza, in Gat, and in Ashdod.

23Yehoshua captured the entire region, just as Yahweh had told Mosheh, and Yehoshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel, divided into portions according to their tribes, and then the region was peaceful.


16And_he/it_took Yəhōshūˊa DOM all the_earth/land the_this the_hill_country and_DOM all the_Negeⱱ and_DOM all the_land the_Goshen and_DOM the_lowland and_DOM the_ˊₐrāⱱāh and_DOM the_hill_country of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) and_lowland_its.
17From the_mount the_halak the_rises Sēˊīr and_unto Baˊal Gād in/on/at/with_valley the_Ləⱱānōn under the_mountain of_Ḩermōn and_DOM all kings_their he_captured and_struck_down_them and_put_todeath_them.
18Days many he_did Yəhōshūˊa with all the_kings the_these battle.
19Not it_was a_city which it_made_peace to the_people of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) except the_Hivvi the_inhabitants of_Giⱱˊōn DOM the_all they_took in/on/at/with_battle.
20If/because from YHWH it_was to_harden DOM hearts_their to_meet the_battle with Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) so_as utterly_destroy_them to_not to_belong to/for_them favour if/because so_as destroy_them just_as he_had_commanded YHWH DOM Mosheh.
21and_came Yəhōshūˊa/(Joshua) in/on/at/with_time the_that and_cut_off DOM the_ˊAnāqī from the_hill_country from Ḩeⱱrōn from Dəⱱīr from Anab and_from_all the_hill_country of_Yəhūdāh/(Judah) and_from_all the_hill_country of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) with cities_their utterly_destroyed_them Yəhōshūˊa.
22Not it_was_left ˊAnāqī in_land of_the_people of_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) only in/on/at/with_ˊAzzāh in/on/at/with_Gat and_in/on/at/with_ʼAshdōd they_remained.
23And_he/it_took Yəhōshūˊa DOM all the_earth/land according_to_all that he_had_spoken YHWH to Mosheh and_gave_it Yəhōshūˊa as_inheritance to_Yisrāʼēl/(Israel) according_to_divisions_their by_tribal_their and_the_earth it_was_at_peace from_war.
