11 And it happened, when Jabin, the king of Hazor, heard, that he sent to Jobab, the king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron and to the king of Achshaph 2 and to the kings who were from the north in the hill country and in the Arabah south of Kinnereth and in the lowland and in the heights of Dor from the west, 3 the Canaanite from the sunrise and from the sea, and the Amorite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite below Hermon in the land of Mizpah. 4 And they went out, they and all of their camps with them, many people, like the sand that is on the shore of the sea for multitude, and a horse and a chariot, very many. 5 And all of these kings met together and came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight with Israel. 6 And Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid from their faces, because tomorrow about this time I will give all of them slain to the face of Israel. You will hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.” 7 And Joshua and all of the people of war with him came upon them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and they fell upon them. 8 And Yahweh gave them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them and pursued them unto Great Sidon and unto Misrephoth Maim and unto the Valley of Mizpeh from the sunrise. And they struck them until he did not leave to them a survivor. 9 And Joshua did to them just as Yahweh had said to him. He hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire. 10 And Joshua returned at that time and captured Hazor and struck its king with the sword, because Hazor, it was formerly the head of all of these kingdoms. 11 And they struck every soul that was in it to the mouth of the sword, devoting them. Not any breathing thing remained. And he burned Hazor with fire. 12 And Joshua captured all of the cities of these kings and all of their kings, and he struck them to the mouth of the sword. He devoted them just as Moses, the servant of Yahweh, had commanded. 13 Only all of the cities standing on their mound, Israel did not burn, except Hazor alone Joshua burned. 14 And all of the plunder of these cities and the livestock, the sons of Israel plundered for themselves. Only every human they struck to the mouth of the sword until they had destroyed them. They did not leave any breathing thing. 15 Just as Yahweh had commanded Moses his servant, thus Moses had commanded Joshua, and thus Joshua did. He did not turn aside a thing from all that Yahweh had commanded Moses. 16 And Joshua captured all of this land: the hill country and all of the Negev and all of the land of Goshen and the lowland and the Arabah and the hill country of Israel and its lowland, 17 from Mount Halak, the one ascending to Seir, and unto Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. And he captured all of their kings and struck them and killed them. 18 Many days Joshua made war with all of these kings. 19 There was not a city that made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivites, the dwellers of Gibeon. The all they captured in battle. 20 For it was from Yahweh to harden their hearts to meet Israel in battle in order to devote them, so that there would not be favor for them, but in order to destroy them, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 21 And Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakites from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all of the hill country of Judah, and from all of the hill country of Israel. Joshua devoted them with their cities. 22 No Anakites remained in the land of the sons of Israel. They remained only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod. 23 And Joshua captured all of the land according to all that Yahweh had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
