1And it happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard these things, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2And to the kings who were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,
3And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.
4And they went out, they and all their armies with them, numerous people, as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
5And when all these kings met together, they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
