Joshua 11:4-13

⁴And they all came out with their troops, a people exceeding numerous as the sand that is on the sea shore, their horses also and chariots a very great multitude,

⁵And all these kings assembled together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

⁶And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for tomorrow at this same hour I will deliver all these to be slain in the sight of Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and thou shalt burn their chariots with fire.

⁷And Josue came, and all the army with him, against them to the waters of Merom on a sudden, and fell upon them.

⁸And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they defeated them, and chased them as far as the great Sidon, and the waters of Maserophot, and the field of Masphe, which is on the east side thereof. He slew them all, so as to leave no remains of them:

⁹And he did as the Lord had commanded him, he hamstringed their horses and burned their chariots.

¹⁰And presently turning back he took Asor: and slew the king thereof with the sword. Now Asor of old was the head of all these kingdoms.

¹¹And he cut off all the souls that abode there: he left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city itself with fire.

¹²And he took and put to the sword and destroyed all the cities round about, and their kings, as Moses the servant of God had commanded him.

¹³Except the cities that were on hills and high places, the rest Israel burned: only Asor that was very strong he consumed with fire.
