Joshua 11:1–10

And it came to pass, when ^aJabin king of ^bHazor had heard those things, that ^che sent to Jobab king of ^dMadon, and to the king of ^eShimron, and to the king of ^fAchshaph, ²and to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of ^gCinneroth, and in the valley, and in ^hthe borders of Dor on the west, ³and to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and ⁱthe Jebusite in the mountains, and to ^jthe Hivite under ^kHermon in the land of ^lMizpeh. ⁴And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, ^meven as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many. ⁵And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

⁶And the Lord said unto Joshua, ⁿBe not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt ^ohough their horses, and burn ^ptheir chariots with fire. ⁷So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom ^qsuddenly; and they fell upon them. ⁸And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of ^rMizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining. ⁹And Joshua did unto them ^sas the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire. ¹⁰And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
