¹ And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard those things, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

² And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor on the west,

³ And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh.

⁴ And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

⁵ And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

⁶ 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.

⁷ So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.

⁸ 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.

⁹ And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

¹⁰ 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.

¹¹ 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.

¹² 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.

¹³ But as for the cities that stood still in their strength, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

¹⁴ 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.

¹⁵ 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.

¹ And it came to pass, when Jabin ^H2985 king ^H4428 of Hazor ^H2674 had heard ^H8085 those things, that he sent ^H7971 to Jobab ^H3103 king ^H4428 of Madon, ^H4068 and to the king ^H4428 of Shimron, ^H8110 and to the king ^H4428 of Achshaph, ^H407

² And to the kings ^H4428 that were on the north ^H6828 of the mountains, ^H2022 and of the plains ^H6160 south ^H5045 of Chinneroth, ^H3672 and in the valley, ^H8219 and in the borders ^H5299 of Dor ^H1756 on the west, ^H3220

³ And to the Canaanite ^H3669 on the east ^H4217 and on the west, ^H3220 and to the Amorite, ^H567 and the Hittite, ^H2850 and the Perizzite, ^H6522 and the Jebusite ^H2983 in the mountains, ^H2022 and to the Hivite ^H2340 under Hermon ^H2768 in the land ^H776 of Mizpeh. ^H4709

⁴ And they went out, ^H3318 they and all their hosts ^H4264 with them, much ^H7227 people, ^H5971 even as the sand ^H2344 that is upon the sea ^H3220 shore ^H8193 in multitude, ^H7230 with horses ^H5483 and chariots ^H7393 very ^H3966 many. ^H7227

⁵ And when all these kings ^H4428 were met together, ^H3259 they came ^H935 and pitched ^H2583 together ^H3162 at the waters ^H4325 of Merom, ^H4792 to fight ^H3898 against Israel. ^H3478

⁶ And the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 unto Joshua, ^H3091 Be not afraid ^H3372 because ^H6440 of them: for to morrow ^H4279 about this time ^H6256 will I deliver them up ^H5414 all slain ^H2491 before ^H6440 Israel: ^H3478 thou shalt hough ^H6131 their horses, ^H5483 and burn ^H8313 their chariots ^H4818 with fire. ^H784

⁷ So Joshua ^H3091 came, ^H935 and all the people ^H5971 of war ^H4421 with him, against them by the waters ^H4325 of Merom ^H4792 suddenly; ^H6597 and they fell upon ^H5307 them.

⁸ And the LORD ^H3068 delivered ^H5414 them into the hand ^H3027 of Israel, ^H3478 who smote ^H5221 them, and chased ^H7291 them unto great ^H7227 Zidon, ^H6721 and unto Misrephothmaim, ^H4956 and unto the valley ^H1237 of Mizpeh ^H4708 eastward; ^H4217 and they smote ^H5221 them, until they left ^H7604 them none remaining. ^H8300

⁹ And Joshua ^H3091 did ^H6213 unto them as the LORD ^H3068 bade ^H559 him: he houghed ^H6131 their horses, ^H5483 and burnt ^H8313 their chariots ^H4818 with fire. ^H784

¹⁰ And Joshua ^H3091 at that time ^H6256 turned back, ^H7725 and took ^H3920 Hazor, ^H2674 and smote ^H5221 the king ^H4428 thereof with the sword: ^H2719 for Hazor ^H2674 beforetime ^H6440 was the head ^H7218 of all those kingdoms. ^H4467

¹¹ And they smote ^H5221 all the souls ^H5315 that were therein with the edge ^H6310 of the sword, ^H2719 utterly destroying ^H2763 them: there was not any left ^H3498 to breathe: ^H5397 and he burnt ^H8313 Hazor ^H2674 with fire. ^H784

¹² And all the cities ^H5892 of those kings, ^H4428 and all the kings ^H4428 of them, did Joshua ^H3091 take, ^H3920 and smote ^H5221 them with the edge ^H6310 of the sword, ^H2719 and he utterly destroyed ^H2763 them, as Moses ^H4872 the servant ^H5650 of the LORD ^H3068 commanded. ^H6680

¹³ But as for the cities ^H5892 that stood ^H5975 still in their strength, ^H8510 Israel ^H3478 burned ^H8313 none of them, save ^H2108 Hazor ^H2674 only; that did Joshua ^H3091 burn. ^H8313

¹⁴ And all the spoil ^H7998 of these cities, ^H5892 and the cattle, ^H929 the children ^H1121 of Israel ^H3478 took for a prey ^H962 unto themselves; but every man ^H120 they smote ^H5221 with the edge ^H6310 of the sword, ^H2719 until they had destroyed ^H8045 them, neither left ^H7604 they any to breathe. ^H5397

¹⁵ As the LORD ^H3068 commanded ^H6680 Moses ^H4872 his servant, ^H5650 so did Moses ^H4872 command ^H6680 Joshua, ^H3091 and so did ^H6213 Joshua; ^H3091 he left ^H5493 nothing ^H1697 undone ^H5493 of all that the LORD ^H3068 commanded ^H6680 Moses. ^H4872

¹ And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor heard thereof, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

² and to the kings that were on the north, in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,

³ to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

⁴ And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is upon the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

⁵ And all these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

⁶ And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hock their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

⁷ So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.

⁸ And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

⁹ And Joshua did unto them as Jehovah bade him: he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

¹⁰ And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.

¹¹ And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left that breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

¹² And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he smote them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded.

¹³ But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

¹⁴ 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 that breathed.

¹⁵ As Jehovah commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Jehovah commanded Moses.

¹ And it cometh to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heareth, that he sendeth unto Jobab king of Madon, and unto the king of Shimron, and unto the king of Achshaph,

² and unto the kings who `are' on the north in the hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the low country, and in the elevations of Dor, on the west,

³ `to' the Canaanite on the east, and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh --

⁴ and they go out, they and all their camps with them, a people numerous, as the sand which `is' on the sea-shore for multitude, and horse and charioteer very many;

⁵ and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

⁶ And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Be not afraid of their presence, for to-morrow about this time I am giving all of them wounded before Israel; their horses thou dost hough, and their chariots burn with fire.'

⁷ And Joshua cometh, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fall on them;

⁸ and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Israel, and they smite them and pursue them unto the great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-Maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they smite them, till he hath not left to them a remnant;

⁹ and Joshua doth to them as Jehovah said to him; their horses he hath houghed, and their chariots burnt with fire.

¹⁰ And Joshua turneth back at that time, and captureth Hazor, and its king he hath smitten by the sword; for Hazor formerly `is' head of all these kingdoms;

¹¹ and they smite every person who `is' in it by the mouth of the sword; he hath devoted -- he hath not left any one breathing, and Hazor he hath burnt with fire;

¹² and all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, hath Joshua captured, and he smiteth them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded.

¹³ Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel hath not burned them, save Hazor only, `it' hath Joshua burnt;

¹⁴ and all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, have the sons of Israel spoiled for themselves; only, every human being they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, till their destroying them; they have not left any one breathing.

¹⁵ As Jehovah commanded Moses His servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so hath Joshua done; he hath not turned aside a thing of all that Jehovah commanded Moses.

¹ And it came to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heard [this], that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

² and to the kings that were northward in the mountains, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and on the upland of Dor on the west,

³ to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and to the Hivite at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

⁴ And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a people numerous as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

⁵ And all these kings met together, and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

⁶ And Jehovah said to Joshua, Be not afraid because of them; for to-morrow about this time will I give them all up slain before Israel: their horses shalt thou hough, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire.

⁷ And Joshua, and all the people of war with him, came upon them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them.

⁸ And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and to Misrephoth-maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward, and smote them until none were left remaining to them.

⁹ And Joshua did to them as Jehovah had said to him: he houghed their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.

¹⁰ And Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword; for Hazor was in times past the head of all those kingdoms.

¹¹ And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly: there was not any left to breathe; and he burned Hazor with fire.

¹² And all the cities of those kings and all their kings did Joshua take; and he smote them with the edge of the sword, destroying them utterly, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded.

¹³ Only, all the cities that stood still upon their hills Israel did not burn, save Hazor alone, [which] Joshua burned.

¹⁴ And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle the children of Israel took as prey to themselves; only, they smote all the men with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them: they left none that breathed.

¹⁵ As Jehovah had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he let nothing fail of all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.

---

¹ It happened, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

² and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,

³ to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

⁴ They went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even as the sand that is on the sea-shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.

⁵ All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

⁶ Yahweh said to Joshua, Don't be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: you shall hamstring their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

⁷ So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell on them.

⁸ Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they struck them, until they left them none remaining.

⁹ Joshua did to them as Yahweh bade him: he hamstrung their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

¹⁰ Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck the king of it with the sword: for Hazor before was the head of all those kingdoms.

¹¹ They struck all the souls who were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them; there was none left who breathed: and he burnt Hazor with fire.

¹² All the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them, did Joshua take, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded.

¹³ But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.

¹⁴ All the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey to themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, neither left they any who breathed.

¹⁵ As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua: and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.

---

¹ Now Jabin, king of Hazor, hearing of these things, sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,

² And to the kings on the north in the hill-country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in the highlands of Dor on the west,

³ And to the Canaanites on the east and on the west, and to the Amorites and the Hittites and the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill-country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

⁴ And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number.

⁵ And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.

⁶ And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

⁷ So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.

⁸ And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely.

⁹ And Joshua did to them as the Lord had said to him; he had the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

¹⁰ At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.

¹¹ And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor.

¹² And all the towns of these kings, and all the kings, Joshua took, and put them to the sword: he gave them up to the curse, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had said.

¹³ As for the towns made on hills of earth, not one was burned by Israel but Hazor, which was burned by Joshua.

¹⁴ And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.

¹⁵ As the Lord had given orders to Moses his servant, so Moses gave orders to Joshua, and so Joshua did; every order which the Lord had given to Moses was done.
