Joshua 11:4-13

⁴All their armies assembled together, a vast horde as numberless as the sand of the seashore, together with many, many horses and chariots.

⁵All these kings joined forces and set up camp beside the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.

⁶The Lord said to Joshua, “Don't be afraid because of them, for by this time tomorrow I myself will hand them all over to Israel, dead. Cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”

⁷Joshua and the Israelite army went and attacked them without warning at the waters of Merom.

⁸The Lord handed them over to the Israelites who cut them down and chased them as far as Greater Sidon and Misrephoth Maim, and east to the valley of Mizpah, killing them until none were left.

⁹Afterwards Joshua did what the Lord had ordered: he crippled the horses and burned the chariots.

¹⁰Then Joshua turned on Hazor. He captured it and killed its king, for Hazor was at that time the chief of all these kingdoms.

¹¹Joshua had all the inhabitants killed, leaving no survivors. He set it apart and completely destroyed it—no one was left alive. Then he burned down Hazor.

¹²Joshua captured all these towns and killed their kings. He set them apart and completely destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had ordered.

¹³However, Israel did not burn any of the towns built on mounds, except Hazor, which Joshua did burn.
