11Joshua 11

1And 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,Select Joshua 11:1

2and 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,Select Joshua 11:2

3to 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--Select Joshua 11:3

4and 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;Select Joshua 11:4

5and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.Select Joshua 11:5

6And 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.'Select Joshua 11:6

7And Joshua cometh, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fall on them;Select Joshua 11:7

8and 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;Select Joshua 11:8

9and Joshua doth to them as Jehovah said to him; their horses he hath houghed, and their chariots burnt with fire.Select Joshua 11:9

10And 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;Select Joshua 11:10

11and 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;Select Joshua 11:11

12and 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.Select Joshua 11:12

13Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel hath not burned them, save Hazor only, it hath Joshua burnt;Select Joshua 11:13

14and 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.Select Joshua 11:14

15As 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.Select Joshua 11:15

16And Joshua taketh all this land: the hill-country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands,Select Joshua 11:16

17from the mount of Halak, which is going up to Seir, and unto Baal-Gad, in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon; and all their kings he hath captured, and he smiteth them, and putteth them to death.Select Joshua 11:17

18Many days hath Joshua made with all these kings war;Select Joshua 11:18

19there hath not been a city which made peace with the sons of Israel save the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; the whole they have taken in battle;Select Joshua 11:19

20for from Jehovah it hath been to strengthen their heart, to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses.Select Joshua 11:20

21And Joshua cometh at that time, and cutteth off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, even from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; with their cities hath Joshua devoted them.Select Joshua 11:21

22There hath not been left Anakim in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left.Select Joshua 11:22

23And Joshua taketh the whole of the land, according to all that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and Joshua giveth it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes; and the land hath rest from war.Select Joshua 11:23
