11:1 And it came to pass, when Jabin 2985 king 4428 of Hazor 2674 had heard 8085 8800 [those things], that he sent 7971 8799 to Jobab 3103 king 4428 of Madon 4068, and to the king 4428 of Shimron 8110, and to the king 4428 of Achshaph 407,

11:2 And to the kings 4428 that [were] on the north 6828 of the mountains 2022, and of the plains 6160 south 5045 of Chinneroth 3672, and in the valley 8219, and in the borders 5299 of Dor 1756 on the west 3220,

11:3 [And to] the Canaanite 3669 on the east 4217 and on the west 3220, and [to] the Amorite 567, and the Hittite 2850, and the Perizzite 6522, and the Jebusite 2983 in the mountains 2022, and [to] the Hivite 2340 under Hermon 2768 in the land 776 of Mizpeh 4709.

11:4 And they went out 3318 8799, they and all their hosts 4264 with them, much 7227 people 5971, even as the sand 2344 that [is] upon the sea 3220 shore 8193 in multitude 7230, with horses 5483 and chariots 7393 very 3966 many 7227.

11:5 And when all these kings 4428 were met together 3259 8735, they came 935 8799 and pitched 2583 8799 together 3162 at the waters 4325 of Merom 4792, to fight 3898 8736 against Israel 3478.(met…: Heb. assembled by appointment)

11:6 And the LORD 3068 said 559 8799 unto Joshua 3091, Be not afraid 3372 8799 because 6440 of them: for to morrow 4279 about this time 6256 will I deliver them up 5414 8802 all slain 2491 before 6440 Israel 3478: thou shalt hough 6131 8762 their horses 5483, and burn 8313 8799 their chariots 4818 with fire 784.

11:7 So Joshua 3091 came 935 8799, and all the people 5971 of war 4421 with him, against them by the waters 4325 of Merom 4792 suddenly 6597; and they fell upon 5307 8799 them.

11:8 And the LORD 3068 delivered 5414 8799 them into the hand 3027 of Israel 3478, who smote 5221 8686 them, and chased 7291 8799 them unto great 7227 Zidon 6721, and unto Misrephothmaim 4956, and unto the valley 1237 of Mizpeh 4708 eastward 4217; and they smote 5221 8686 them, until they left 7604 8689 them none remaining 8300.(great Zidon: or, Zidonrabbah)(Misrephothmaim: or, Salt pits: Heb. Burnings of waters)

11:9 And Joshua 3091 did 6213 8799 unto them as the LORD 3068 bade 559 8804 him: he houghed 6131 8765 their horses 5483, and burnt 8313 8804 their chariots 4818 with fire 784.

11:10 And Joshua 3091 at that time 6256 turned back 7725 8799, and took 3920 8799 Hazor 2674, and smote 5221 8689 the king 4428 thereof with the sword 2719: for Hazor 2674 beforetime 6440 was the head 7218 of all those kingdoms 4467.

11:11 And they smote 5221 8686 all the souls 5315 that [were] therein with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, utterly destroying 2763 8687 [them]: there was not any left 3498 8738 to breathe 5397: and he burnt 8313 8804 Hazor 2674 with fire 784.(any…: Heb. any breath)

11:12 And all the cities 5892 of those kings 4428, and all the kings 4428 of them, did Joshua 3091 take 3920 8804, and smote 5221 8686 them with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, [and] he utterly destroyed 2763 8689 them, as Moses 4872 the servant 5650 of the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765.

11:13 But [as for] the cities 5892 that stood 5975 8802 still in their strength 8510, Israel 3478 burned 8313 8804 none of them, save 2108 Hazor 2674 only; [that] did Joshua 3091 burn 8313 8804.(in their…: Heb. on their heap)

11:14 And all the spoil 7998 of these cities 5892, and the cattle 929, the children 1121 of Israel 3478 took for a prey 962 8804 unto themselves; but every man 120 they smote 5221 8689 with the edge 6310 of the sword 2719, until they had destroyed 8045 8687 them, neither left 7604 8689 they any to breathe 5397.

11:15 As the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872 his servant 5650, so did Moses 4872 command 6680 8765 Joshua 3091, and so did 6213 8804 Joshua 3091; he left 5493 0 nothing 1697 undone 5493 8689 of all that the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872.(left…: Heb. removed nothing)

11:16 So Joshua 3091 took 3947 8799 all that land 776, the hills 2022, and all the south country 5045, and all the land 776 of Goshen 1657, and the valley 8219, and the plain 6160, and the mountain 2022 of Israel 3478, and the valley 8219 of the same;

11:17 [Even] from the mount 2022 Halak 2510, that goeth up 5927 8802 to Seir 8165, even unto Baalgad 1171 in the valley 1237 of Lebanon 3844 under mount 2022 Hermon 2768: and all their kings 4428 he took 3920 8804, and smote 5221 8686 them, and slew 4191 8686 them.(the mount…: or, the smooth mountain)

11:18 Joshua 3091 made 6213 8804 war 4421 a long 7227 time 3117 with all those kings 4428.

11:19 There was not a city 5892 that made peace 7999 8689 with the children 1121 of Israel 3478, save the Hivites 2340 the inhabitants 3427 8802 of Gibeon 1391: all [other] they took 3947 8804 in battle 4421.

11:20 For it was of the LORD 3068 to harden 2388 8763 their hearts 3820, that they should come against 7125 8800 Israel 3478 in battle 4421, that he might destroy them utterly 2763 8687, [and] that they might have no favour 8467, but that he might destroy 8045 8687 them, as the LORD 3068 commanded 6680 8765 Moses 4872.

11:21 And at that time 6256 came 935 8799 Joshua 3091, and cut off 3772 8686 the Anakims 6062 from the mountains 2022, from Hebron 2275, from Debir 1688, from Anab 6024, and from all the mountains 2022 of Judah 3063, and from all the mountains 2022 of Israel 3478: Joshua 3091 destroyed them utterly 2763 8689 with their cities 5892.

11:22 There was none of the Anakims 6062 left 3498 8738 in the land 776 of the children 1121 of Israel 3478: only in Gaza 5804, in Gath 1661, and in Ashdod 795, there remained 7604 8738.

11:23 So Joshua 3091 took 3947 8799 the whole land 776, according to all that the LORD 3068 said 1696 8765 unto Moses 4872; and Joshua 3091 gave 5414 8799 it for an inheritance 5159 unto Israel 3478 according to their divisions 4256 by their tribes 7626. And the land 776 rested 8252 8804 from war 4421.
