11:1 When
Jabin,
king
of
Hazor,
heard
of
this,
he
sent
to
Jobab
king
of
Madon,
and
to
the
king
of
Shimron,
and
to
the
king
of
Achshaph,
11:2 and
to
the
kings
who
were
in
the
northern
hill
country,
and
in
the
Arabah
south
of
Chinneroth,
and
in
the
lowland,
and
in
Naphoth-dor
on
the
west,
11:3 to
the
Canaanites
in
the
east
and
the
west,
the
Amorites,
the
Hittites,
the
Perizzites,
and
the
Jebusites
in
the
hill
country,
and
the
Hivites
under
Hermon
in
the
land
of
Mizpah.
11:4 And
they
came
out
with
all
their
troops,
a
great
horde,
in
number
like
the
sand
that
is
on
the
seashore,
with
very
many
horses
and
chariots.
11:5 And
all
these
kings
joined
their
forces
and
came
and
encamped
together
at
the
waters
of
Merom
to
fight
against
Israel.
11:6 And
the
LORD
said
to
Joshua,
"Do
not
be
afraid
of
them,
for
tomorrow
at
this
time
I
will
give
over
all
of
them,
slain,
to
Israel.
You
shall
hamstring
their
horses
and
burn
their
chariots
with
fire."
11:7 So
Joshua
and
all
his
warriors
came
suddenly
against
them
by
the
waters
of
Merom
and
fell
upon
them.
11:8 And
the
LORD
gave
them
into
the
hand
of
Israel,
who
struck
them
and
chased
them
as
far
as
Great
Sidon
and
Misrephoth-maim,
and
eastward
as
far
as
the
Valley
of
Mizpeh.
And
they
struck
them
until
he
left
none
remaining.
11:9 And
Joshua
did
to
them
just
as
the
LORD
said
to
him:
he
hamstrung
their
horses
and
burned
their
chariots
with
fire.
11:10 And
Joshua
turned
back
at
that
time
and
captured
Hazor
and
struck
its
king
with
the
sword,
for
Hazor
formerly
was
the
head
of
all
those
kingdoms.
11:11 And
they
struck
with
the
sword
all
who
were
in
it,
devoting
them
to
destruction;
there
was
none
left
that
breathed.
And
he
burned
Hazor
with
fire.
11:12 And
all
the
cities
of
those
kings,
and
all
their
kings,
Joshua
captured,
and
struck
them
with
the
edge
of
the
sword,
devoting
them
to
destruction,
just
as
Moses
the
servant
of
the
LORD
had
commanded.
11:13 But
none
of
the
cities
that
stood
on
mounds
did
Israel
burn,
except
Hazor
alone;
that
Joshua
burned.
11:14 And
all
the
spoil
of
these
cities
and
the
livestock,
the
people
of
Israel
took
for
their
plunder.
But
every
man
they
struck
with
the
edge
of
the
sword
until
they
had
destroyed
them,
and
they
did
not
leave
any
who
breathed.
11:15 Just
as
the
LORD
had
commanded
Moses
his
servant,
so
Moses
commanded
Joshua,
and
so
Joshua
did.
He
left
nothing
undone
of
all
that
the
LORD
had
commanded
Moses.
11:16 So
Joshua
took
all
that
land,
the
hill
country
and
all
the
Negeb
and
all
the
land
of
Goshen
and
the
lowland
and
the
Arabah
and
the
hill
country
of
Israel
and
its
lowland
11:17 from
Mount
Halak,
which
rises
toward
Seir,
as
far
as
Baal-gad
in
the
Valley
of
Lebanon
below
Mount
Hermon.
And
he
captured
all
their
kings
and
struck
them
and
put
them
to
death.
11:18 Joshua
made
war
a
long
time
with
all
those
kings.
11:19 There
was
not
a
city
that
made
peace
with
the
people
of
Israel
except
the
Hivites,
the
inhabitants
of
Gibeon.
They
took
them
all
in
battle.
11:20 For
it
was
the
LORD's
doing
to
harden
their
hearts
that
they
should
come
against
Israel
in
battle,
in
order
that
they
should
be
devoted
to
destruction
and
should
receive
no
mercy
but
be
destroyed,
just
as
the
LORD
commanded
Moses.
11:21 And
Joshua
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
devoted
them
to
destruction
with
their
cities.
11:22 There
was
none
of
the
Anakim
left
in
the
land
of
the
people
of
Israel.
Only
in
Gaza,
in
Gath,
and
in
Ashdod
did
some
remain.
11:23 So
Joshua
took
the
whole
land,
according
to
all
that
the
LORD
had
spoken
to
Moses.
And
Joshua
gave
it
for
an
inheritance
to
Israel
according
to
their
tribal
allotments.
And
the
land
had
rest
from
war.
