And it cameH1961 to pass, when JabinH2985 kingH4428 of HazorH2674 had heardH8085 those things, that he sentH7971 to JobabH3103 kingH4428 of Madon,H4068 and to the kingH4428 of Shimron,H8110 and to the kingH4428 of Achshaph,H407
2
And to the kingsH4428 that were on the northH6828 of the mountains,H2022 and of the plainsH6160 southH5045 of Chinneroth,H3672 and in the valley,H8219 and in the bordersH5299 of DorH1756 on the west,H3220
3
And to the CanaaniteH3669 on the eastH4217 and on the west,H3220 and to the Amorite,H567 and the Hittite,H2850 and the Perizzite,H6522 and the JebusiteH2983 in the mountains,H2022 and to the HiviteH2340 underH8478 HermonH2768 in the landH776 of Mizpeh.H4709
4
And they wentH3318 out, they and allH3605 their hostsH4264 with them, muchH7227 people,H5971 even as the sandH2344 that is on the seaH3220 shoreH8193 in multitude,H7230 with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 veryH3966 many.H7227
5
And when allH3605 theseH428 kingsH4428 were metH3259 together,H3162 they cameH935 and pitchedH2583 togetherH3162 atH413 the watersH4325 of Merom,H4792 to fightH3898 againstH5973 Israel.H3478
6
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to Joshua,H3091 Be not afraidH3372 becauseH6440 of them: for to morrowH4279 about thisH2063 timeH6256 will I deliverH5414 them up allH3605 slainH2491 beforeH6440 Israel:H3478 you shall hamstringH6131 their horses,H5483 and burnH8313 their chariotsH4818 with fire.H784
7
So JoshuaH3091 came,H935 and allH3605 the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with him, againstH5921 them by the watersH4325 of MeromH4792 suddenly;H6597 and they fellH5307 on them.
8
And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 them into the handH3027 of Israel,H3478 who smoteH5221 them, and chasedH7291 them to greatH7227 Zidon,H6721 and to Misrephothmaim,H4956 and to the valleyH1237 of MizpehH4708 eastward;H4217 and they smoteH5221 them, untilH5704 they leftH7604 them noneH1115 remaining.H8300
9
And JoshuaH3091 didH6213 to them as the LORDH3068 badeH559 him: he hamstrungH6131 their horses,H5483 and burntH8313 their chariotsH4818 with fire.H784
10
And JoshuaH3091 at that timeH6256 turnedH7725 back,H7725 and tookH3920 Hazor,H2674 and smoteH5221 the kingH4428 thereof with the sword:H2719 for HazorH2674 beforetimeH6440 was the headH7218 of allH3605 thoseH428 kingdoms.H4467
11
And they smoteH5221 allH3605 the soulsH5315 that were therein with the edgeH6310 of the sword,H2719 utterly destroyingH2763 them: there was not anyH3605 leftH3498 to breathe:H5397 and he burntH8313 HazorH2674 with fire.H784
12
And allH3605 the citiesH5892 of thoseH428 kings,H4428 and allH3605 the kingsH4428 of them, did JoshuaH3091 take,H3920 and smoteH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the sword,H2719 and he utterly destroyedH2763 them, as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commanded.H6680
13
But as for the citiesH5892 that stoodH5975 still in their strength,H8510 IsraelH3478 burnedH8313 noneH3808 of them, saveH2108 HazorH2674 only;H905 that did JoshuaH3091 burn.H8313
14
And allH3605 the spoilH7998 of theseH428 cities,H5892 and the cattle,H929 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 took for a preyH962 to themselves;H1992 but everyH3605 manH120 they smoteH5221 with the edgeH6310 of the sword,H2719 untilH5704 they had destroyedH8045 them, neitherH3808 leftH7604 they anyH3605 to breathe.H5397
15
As the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872 his servant,H5650 soH3651 did MosesH4872 commandH6680 Joshua,H3091 and soH3651 didH6213 Joshua;H3091 he leftH5493 nothingH3808 H1697 undoneH5493 of allH3605 that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 Moses.H4872
16
So JoshuaH3091 tookH3947 allH3605 that land,H776 the hills,H2022 and allH3605 the southH5045 country, and allH3605 the landH776 of Goshen,H1657 and the valley,H8219 and the plain,H6160 and the mountainH2022 of Israel,H3478 and the valleyH8219 of the same;
17
Even from the mountH2022 Halak,H2510 that goesH5927 up to Seir,H8165 even to BaalgadH1171 in the valleyH1237 of LebanonH3844 underH8478 mountH2022 Hermon:H2768 and allH3605 their kingsH4428 he took,H3920 and smoteH5221 them, and slewH4191 them.
18
JoshuaH3091 madeH6213 warH4421 a longH7227 timeH3117 with allH3605 thoseH428 kings.H4428
19
There was not a cityH5892 that made peaceH7999 with the childrenH1121 of Israel,H3478 saveH1115 the HivitesH2340 the inhabitantsH3427 of Gibeon:H1391 allH3605 other they tookH3947 in battle.H4421
20
For it was of the LORDH3068 to hardenH2388 their hearts,H3820 that they should comeH7122 againstH7125 IsraelH3478 in battle,H4421 that he might destroyH2763 them utterly, and that they might haveH1961 noH1115 favor,H8467 but that he might destroyH8045 them, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680 Moses.H4872
21
And at that timeH6256 cameH935 Joshua,H3091 and cutH3772 off the AnakimsH6062 from the mountains,H2022 from Hebron,H2275 from Debir,H1688 from Anab,H6024 and from allH3605 the mountainsH2022 of Judah,H3063 and from allH3605 the mountainsH2022 of Israel:H3478 JoshuaH3091 destroyedH2763 them utterly with their cities.H5892
22
There was noneH3808 of the AnakimsH6062 leftH3498 in the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of Israel:H3478 onlyH7535 in Gaza,H5804 in Gath,H1661 and in Ashdod,H795 there remained.H7604
23
So JoshuaH3091 tookH3947 the wholeH854 H3605 land,H776 according to allH3605 that the LORDH3068 saidH1696 to Moses;H4872 and JoshuaH3091 gaveH5414 it for an inheritanceH5159 to IsraelH3478 according to their divisionsH4256 by their tribes.H7626 And the landH776 restedH8252 from war.H4421
