* 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 , * 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 , * 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 . * 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 . * And when all these kings were met together , they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom , to fight against Israel Yisra #el #. * 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 Yisra #el #: thou shalt hough their horses , and burn their chariots with fire . * So Joshua came , and all the people of war with him , against them by the waters of Merom suddenly pith #owm #; and they fell upon them . * And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel Yisra #el #, who smote them , and chased them unto great Zidon , and unto Misrephothmaim Misr @phowth , and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward ; and they smote them , until they left them none remaining . * And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him : he houghed their horses , and burnt their chariots with fire . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * But as for the cities that stood still in their strength , Israel burned none of them , save Hazor only ; that did Joshua burn . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 Yisra #el #, and the valley of the same ; * Even from the mount Halak , that goeth up to Seir Se #iyr #, even unto Baalgad Ba #alin the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon : and all their kings he took , and smote them , and slew them . * Joshua made war a long time with all those kings . * There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel Yisra #el #, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon Gib #own #: all other they took in battle . * 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 . * 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 Yisra #el #: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities . * There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel Yisra #el #: only in Gaza , in Gath , and in Ashdod , there remained . * 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 .
