06:011:005 And when all these kings were met together,
they came and
pitched
together at the waters of Merom, to fight against
Israel.
06:011:006 And the lord said unto Joshua, Be
not afraid because of them:
for
to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all
slain
before
Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn
their
chariots
with fire.
06:011:007 So Joshua came, and all the people of war
with him, against
them
by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon
them.
06:011:008 And the lord delivered them into the
hand of Israel, who smote
them,
and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto
Misrephothmaim,
and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and
they
smote them, until they left them none remaining.
06:011:009 And Joshua did unto them as the lord
bade him: he houghed
their
horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
06:011:010 And 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.
06:011:011 And they smote all the souls that were
therein with the edge
of
the sword, utterly destroying them: there was
not any left
to
breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire.
06:011:012 And all the cities of those kings, and
all the kings of them,
did
Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword,
and
he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of
the
lord
commanded.
06:011:013 But as for the cities that stood still
in their strength,
Israel
burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua
burn.
06:011:014 And all the spoil of these cities, and
the cattle, the
children
of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every
man
they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had
destroyed
them, neither left they any to breathe.
06:011:015 As the lord commanded Moses his servant,
so did Moses command
Joshua,
and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that
the
lord commanded Moses.
06:011:016 So Joshua took all that land, the hills,
and all the south
country,
and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the
plain,
and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same;
06:011:017 Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up
to Seir, even unto
Baalgad
in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and
all
their
kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.
06:011:018 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
06:011:019 There was not a city that made peace with
the children of
Israel,
save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all
other
they
took in battle.
