1When Jabin king of Hazor heard of it , he sent to Jobab king of Madon , to the king of Shimron , to the king of Achshaph,
2and to the kings who were on the north , in the hill country , in the Arabah south of Chinneroth , in the lowland , and in the heights of Dor on the west ,
3to the Canaanite on the east and on the west , the Amorite, the Hittite , the Perizzite , the Jebusite in the hill country , and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah .
4They went out , they and all their armies with them , many people , even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude , with very many horses and chariots .
5All these kings met together ; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom , to fight with Israel .
6The LORD said to Joshua , “Don’t be afraid because of them ; for tomorrow at this time , I will deliver them up all slain before Israel . You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
7So Joshua came suddenly , with all the warriors , against them by the waters of Merom , and attacked them .
8The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel , and they struck them , and chased them to great Sidon , and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward . They struck them until they left them no one remaining .
9Joshua did to them as the LORD told him . He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
10Joshua turned back at that time , and took Hazor , and struck its king with the sword ; for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms .
11They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword , utterly destroying them . There was no one left who breathed . He burnt Hazor with fire.
12Joshua captured all the cities of those kings , with their kings , and he struck them with the edge of the sword , and utterly destroyed them , as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded .
13But as for the cities that stood on their mounds , Israel burnt none of them , except Hazor only . Joshua burnt that .
14The children of Israel took all the plunder of these cities , with the livestock, as plunder for themselves ; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword , until they had destroyed them . They didn’t leave any who breathed .
15As the LORD commanded Moses his servant , so Moses commanded Joshua . Joshua did so . He left nothing undone of all that the LORD commanded Moses .
16So Joshua captured all that land, the hill country , all the South , all the land of Goshen , the lowland , the Arabah , the hill country of Israel , and the lowland of the same ,
17from Mount Halak , that goes up to Seir , even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon . He took all their kings , struck them , and put them to death .
18Joshua made war a long time with all those kings .
19There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel , except the Hivites , the inhabitants of Gibeon . They took all in battle .
20For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts , to come against Israel in battle , that he might utterly destroy them , that they might have no favour , but that he might destroy them , as the LORD commanded Moses .
21Joshua came at that time , and cut off the Anakim from the hill country , from Hebron , from Debir , from Anab , and from all the hill country of Judah , and from all the hill country of Israel . Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities .
22There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel . Only in Gaza , in Gath , and in Ashdod, did some remain .
23So Joshua took the whole land , according to all that the LORD spoke to Moses ; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes . Then the land had rest from war .
