Joshua 11:8 - Forerunner Commentary

Joshua 11:8

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.

12 So all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took and struck with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them, ^aas Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.

13 But as for the cities that stood on their¹ mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only, which Joshua burned.

14 And all the ^aspoil of these cities and the livestock, the children of Israel took as booty for themselves; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left none breathing.

15 ^aAs the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so ^bMoses commanded Joshua, and ^cso Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
