The Northern Conquest
1 And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard these things, that he asent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king bof Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,
2 and to the kings who were from the north, in the mountains, in the plain south of aChinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights bof Dor on the west,
3 to the Canaanites in the east and in the west, the aAmorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the mountains, band the Hivite below cHermon din the land of Mizpah.
4 So they went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people aas the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
5 And when all these kings had1 met together, they came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
6 But the Lord said to Joshua, a“Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You shall bhamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
7 So Joshua and all the people of war with him came against them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and they attacked them.
8 And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who defeated them and chased them to1 Greater aSidon, to the Brook bMisrephoth, and to the Valley of Mizpah eastward; they attacked them until they left none of them remaining.
9 So Joshua did to them as the Lord had told him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
10 Joshua turned back at that time and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms.
11 And they struck all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, autterly destroying them. There was none left bbreathing. Then he burned Hazor with fire.
