JOS-11:1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard
[those things], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the
king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
JOS-11:2 And to the kings that [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,
JOS-11:3 [And 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.
JOS-11:4 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them,
much people, even as the sand that [is] upon the sea shore in
multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
JOS-11:5 And when all these kings were met together, they came
and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against
Israel.
JOS-11:6 And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of
them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all
slain before Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn
their chariots with fire.
JOS-11:7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him,
against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon
them.
JOS-11:8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel,
who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto
Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they
smote them, until they left them none remaining.
JOS-11:9 And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he
hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
JOS-11:10 And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor,
and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime
was the head of all those kingdoms.
JOS-11:11 And they smote all the souls that [were] therein with
the edge of the sword, utterly destroying [them]: there was not
any left to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
JOS-11:12 And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings
of them, did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the
sword, [and] he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of
the LORD commanded.
JOS-11:13 But [as for] the cities that stood still in their
strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; [that]
did Joshua burn.
JOS-11:14 And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the
children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every
man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had
destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe.
JOS-11:15 As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses
command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all
that the LORD commanded Moses.
JOS-11:16 So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the
south country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and
the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the
same;
JOS-11:17 [Even] from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir,
even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon:
and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
JOS-11:18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
JOS-11:19 There was not a city that made peace with the children
of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all
[other] they took in battle.
JOS-11:20 For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that
they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy
them utterly, [and] that they might have no favour, but that he
might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses.
JOS-11:21 And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims
from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from
all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel:
Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
JOS-11:22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the
children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there
remained.
JOS-11:23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that
the LORD said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance
unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And
the land rested from war.
