1 Now when Jabinking of Hazorheard about these things, he sent word to Jobabking of Madon; to the kings of Shimronand Achshaph; 2 to the kings of the north in the mountains, in the Arabahsouth of Chinnereth, in the foothills,11:2 Hebrew Shephelah or lowlands; that is, the western foothills of Judea; also in verse 16and in Naphoth-dor11:2 Or in the heights of Dor; Naphoth-dor is a variant of Naphath-dor; see Joshua 12:23.to the west; 3 to the Canaanitesin the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites at the foot of Hermonin the land of Mizpah.
4 So these kings came out with all their armies, a multitude as numerous as the sand on the seashore, along with a great number of horses and chariots. 5 All these kings joined forces and encamped at the waters of Meromto fight against Israel.
6 Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them, for by this time tomorrow I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn up their chariots."
7 So by the waters of Merom, Joshuaand his whole army came upon them suddenly and attacked them, 8 and the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who struck them down and pursued them all the way to Greater Sidonand Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. They struck them down, leaving no survivors. 9 Joshuatreated them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned up their chariots.
10 At that time Joshuaturned back and captured Hazorand put its king to the sword, because Hazorwas formerly the head of all these kingdoms. 11 The Israelites put everyone in Hazorto the sword, devoting them to destruction.11:11 Forms of the Hebrew cherem refer to the giving over of things or persons to the LORD, either by destroying them or by giving them as an offering; also in verses 12, 20, and 21.Nothing that breathed remained, and Joshua burned down Hazoritself.
12 Joshuacaptured all these kings and their cities and put them to the sword. He devoted them to destruction, as Mosesthe LORD’s servant had commanded. 13 Yet Israel did not burn any of the cities built on their mounds, except Hazor, which Joshuaburned.
14 The Israelites took for themselves all the plunder and livestock of these cities, but they put all the people to the sword until they had completely destroyed them, not sparing anyone who breathed. 15 As the LORD had commanded His servant Moses, so Mosescommanded Joshua. That is what Joshuadid, leaving nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
Joshua Takes the Whole Land
16 So Joshuatook this entire region: the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah, and the mountains of Israel and their foothills, 17 from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-gadin the Valley of Lebanonat the foot of Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and struck them down, putting them to death.
18 Joshuawaged war against all these kings for a long period of time. 19 No city made peace with the Israelites except the Hivites living in Gibeon; all others were taken in battle. 20 For it was of the LORD to harden11:20 Or stiffen or strengthentheir hearts to engage Israel in battle, so that they would be set apart for destruction and would receive no mercy, being annihilated as the LORD had commanded Moses.
21 At that time Joshuaproceeded to eliminate the Anakim from the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and of Israel. Joshuadevoted them to destruction, along with their cities. 22 No Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdoddid any survive.
23 So Joshuatook the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshuagave it as an inheritance to Israel according to the allotments to their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
