And it came to pass, when Jabin{H2985} king{H4428} of Hazor{H2674} heard{H8085} thereof, that he sent{H7971} to Jobab{H3103} king{H4428} of Madon,{H4068} and to the king{H4428} of Shimron,{H8110} and to the king{H4428} of Achshaph,{H407}

and to the kings{H4428} that were on the north,{H6828} in the hill-country,{H2022} and in the Arabah{H6160} south{H5045} of Chinneroth,{H3672} and in the lowland,{H8219} and in the heights{H5299} of Dor{H1756} on the west,{H3220}

to the Canaanite{H3669} on the east{H4217} and on the west,{H3220} and the Amorite,{H567} and the Hittite,{H2850} and the Perizzite,{H6522} and the Jebusite{H2983} in the hill-country,{H2022} and the Hivite{H2340} under Hermon{H2768} in the land{H776} of Mizpah.{H4709}

And they went out,{H3318} they and all their hosts{H4264} with them, much{H7227} people,{H5971} even as the sand{H2344} that is upon the {H3220} sea-shore{H8193} in multitude,{H7230} with horses{H5483} and chariots{H7393} very{H3966} many.{H7227}

And all these kings{H4428} met together;{H3259} and they came{H935} and encamped{H2583} together{H3259} at the waters{H4325} of Merom,{H4792} to fight{H3898} with Israel.{H3478}

And Jehovah{H3068} said{H559} unto Joshua,{H3091} Be not afraid{H3372} because{H6440} of them; for to-morrow{H4279} at this time{H6256} will I deliver them up{H5414} all slain{H2491} before{H6440} Israel:{H3478} thou shalt hock{H6131} their horses,{H5483} and burn{H8313} their chariots{H4818} with fire.{H784}

So Joshua{H3091} came,{H935} and all the people{H5971} of war{H4421} with him, against them by the waters{H4325} of Merom{H4792} suddenly,{H6597} and fell upon{H5307} them.

And Jehovah{H3068} delivered{H5414} them into the hand{H3027} of Israel,{H3478} and they smote{H5221} them, and chased{H7291} them unto great{H7227} Sidon,{H6721} and unto Misrephoth-maim,{H4956} and unto the valley{H1237} of Mizpeh{H4708} eastward;{H4217} and they smote{H5221} them, until they left{H7604} them none remaining.{H8300}

And Joshua{H3091} did{H6213} unto them as Jehovah{H3068} bade{H559} him: he hocked{H6131} their horses,{H5483} and burnt{H8313} their chariots{H4818} with fire.{H784}

And Joshua{H3091} turned back{H7725} at that time,{H6256} and took{H3920} Hazor,{H2674} and smote{H5221} the king{H4428} thereof with the sword:{H2719} for Hazor{H2674} beforetime{H6440} was the head{H7218} of all those kingdoms.{H4467}

And they smote{H5221} all the souls{H5315} that were therein with the edge{H6310} of the sword,{H2719} utterly destroying{H2763} them; there was none left{H3498} that breathed:{H5397} and he burnt{H8313} Hazor{H2674} with fire.{H784}

And all the cities{H5892} of those kings,{H4428} and all the kings{H4428} of them, did Joshua{H3091} take,{H3920} and he smote{H5221} them with the edge{H6310} of the sword,{H2719} and utterly destroyed{H2763} them; as Moses{H4872} the servant{H5650} of Jehovah{H3068} commanded.{H6680}

But as for the cities{H5892} that stood{H5975} on their mounds,{H8510} Israel{H3478} burned{H8313} none of them, save{H2108} Hazor{H2674} only; that did Joshua{H3091} burn.{H8313}

And all the spoil{H7998} of these cities,{H5892} and the cattle,{H929} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} took for a prey{H962} unto themselves; but every man{H120} they smote{H5221} with the edge{H6310} of the sword,{H2719} until they had destroyed{H8045} them, neither left{H7604} they any that breathed.{H5397}

As Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} Moses{H4872} his servant,{H5650} so did Moses{H4872} command{H6680} Joshua:{H3091} and so did{H6213} Joshua;{H3091} he left{H5493} nothing{H1697} undone{H5493} of all that Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} Moses.{H4872}

So Joshua{H3091} took{H3947} all that land,{H776} the hill-country,{H2022} and all the South,{H5045} and all the land{H5045} of Goshen,{H1657} and the lowland,{H8219} and the Arabah,{H6160} and the hill-country{H2022} of Israel,{H3478} and the lowland{H8219} of the same;

from mount{H2022} Halak,{H2510} that goeth up{H5927} to Seir,{H8165} even unto Baal-gad{H1171} in the valley{H1237} of Lebanon{H3844} under mount{H2022} Hermon:{H2768} and all their kings{H4428} he took,{H3920} and smote{H5221} them, and put them to death.{H4191}

Joshua{H3091} made{H6213} war{H4421} a long{H7227} time{H3117} with all those kings.{H4428}

There was not a city{H5892} that made peace{H7999} with the children{H1121} of Israel,{H3478} save the Hivites{H2340} the inhabitants{H3427} of Gibeon:{H1391} they took{H3947} all in battle.{H4421}

For it was of Jehovah{H3068} to harden{H2388} their hearts,{H3820} to come against{H7125} Israel{H3478} in battle,{H4421} that he might utterly{H2763} destroy them, that they might have no favor,{H8467} but that he might destroy{H8045} them, as Jehovah{H3068} commanded{H6680} Moses.{H4872}

And Joshua{H3091} came{H935} at that time,{H6256} and cut off{H3772} the Anakim{H6062} from the hill-country,{H2022} from Hebron,{H2275} from Debir,{H1688} from Anab,{H6024} and from all the hill-country{H2022} of Judah,{H3063} and from all the hill-country{H2022} of Israel:{H3478} Joshua{H3091} utterly{H2763} destroyed them with their cities.{H5892}

There was none of the Anakim{H6062} left{H3498} in the land{H776} of the children{H1121} of Israel:{H3478} only in Gaza,{H5804} in Gath,{H1661} and in Ashdod,{H795} did some remain.{H7604}

So Joshua{H3091} took{H3947} the whole land,{H776} according to all that Jehovah{H3068} spake{H1696} unto Moses;{H4872} and Joshua{H3091} gave{H5414} it for an inheritance{H5159} unto Israel{H3478} according to their divisions{H4256} by their tribes.{H7626} And the land{H776} had rest{H8252} from war.{H4421}
