Joshua 11
11:1And when Jabin king of Hazor heard, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to king Shimron, and to king Achshaph,
11:2and to the kings of the places by the great Sidon, unto the mountainous area, and unto the wilderness before Chinneroth, and the plain, and unto Napedor,
11:3and to the ones on the coast -- the Canaanites from the east, and to the ones on the coast -- the Amorites, and the Hittites, and Perizzites, and Jebusites, the ones in the mountain, and the Hivites under Hermon unto the land of Mizpeh.
11:4And they came forth, they and their kings with them, a vast people as the sand which is by the edge of the sea in multitude, and horses, and very many chariots.
11:5And all these kings united, and came and camped together by the water of Merom to wage war against Israel.
11:6And the lord said to Joshua, You should not fear from their face, for tomorrow at this hour I will deliver all of them being putting to flight before the sons Israel. Their horses you shall hamstring, and their chariots you shall incinerate by fire.
11:7And Joshua came, and all the warrior people with him, against them at the water of Merom, suddenly. And they fell against them in the mountainous area.
11:8And the lord delivered them under the hands of Israel. And beating them they pursued them unto the great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the plains of Mizpeh and eastwards. And they slew them until the not being left behind of them one surviving.
11:9And Joshua did to them in so far as the lord gave charge to him. He hamstrung their horses, and he burned their chariots by fire.
11:10And Joshua returned in that time, and overtook Hazor; and her king he killed by the broadsword. And Hazor was formerly ruling all these kingdoms.
11:11And he killed everyone breathing in it by the mouth of the sword, and he utterly destroyed all, and there was not left behind in it one breathing. And Hazor they burned by fire.
11:12And all the cities of these kingdoms, and all their kings, Joshua took and did away with them by the mouth of the sword. And he utterly destroyed them in which manner Moses the servant of the lord ordered.
11:13But all the cities being fortified by a mound of them Israel did not burn. Except Joshua burned Hazor only.
11:14And all her spoils, and the cattle, the sons of Israel despoiled for themselves. And all of them they utterly destroyed by the mouth of the sword; and he destroyed them, they did not leave behind of them one breathing.
11:15In which manner the lord gave orders to Moses, to his servant, likewise Moses gave charge to Joshua, and thus Joshua did; he did not violate anything of all which Moses gave orders to him.
11:16And Joshua took all this land -- the mountainous area, and the whole land of Negev, and all the land of Goshen, and the plain, and the land towards the west, and the mountain of Israel, and the low lands, the ones towards the mountain;
11:17from mount Halak, and the ascent into Seir, and unto Baal-gad, and the plain of Lebanon under mount Hermon. And he took all their kings, and he did away with them, and killed them.
11:18And for many days Joshua made war against all these kings.
11:19And there was not a city which he did not deliver over to the sons of Israel, except the Hivite dwelling in Gibeon. He took all by war.
11:20For it was by the lord to become strong of their heart to meet for war against Israel, that they should be utterly destroyed; so that no mercy should be given to them, but that they should be utterly destroyed in which manner the lord told to Moses.
11:21And Joshua came in that time and utterly destroyed the Anakim from out of the mountainous area, from Hebron and from Debir, and from Anab, and from every mountain of Judah, and from every mountain of Israel with their cities. And Joshua utterly destroyed them.
11:22He did not leave of the Anakim from the sons of Israel, but except for in Gaza, and in Gath, and in Ashdod, some were left.
11:23And Joshua took all the land, as far as the lord gave charge to Moses. And Joshua gave them by inheritance to Israel in their distribution according to their tribes. And the land rested from waging war.
