MLV(i)
1 And 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 And they went out, they and all their armies with them, many 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 to Joshua, Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You will 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 killed* them and chased them to great Sidon and to Misrephoth-maim and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward. And they killed* them until they left them none remaining. 9 And Joshua did to them as Jehovah commanded him. He hocked their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 And Joshua turned back at that time and took Hazor and killed* the king of it with the sword, for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms. 11 And they killed* all the souls who were in it 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, Joshua took and he killed* 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, except only Hazor. Joshua burned that.
14 And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle, the sons of Israel took for a prey to themselves, but every man they killed* with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, neither did they leave any who breathed.
15 As Jehovah commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that Jehovah commanded Moses.
