Joshua 11:4-13

⁴And they came out and all their hostes with them, many people as the sande that is on the sea shore for multitude, with horses and charets exceeding many.

⁵So all these Kings met together, and came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, for to fight against Israel.

⁶Then the Lord sayd vnto Ioshua, Be not afrayd for them: for to morowe about this time will I deliuer them all slaine before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burne their charets with fire.

⁷Then came Ioshua and al the men of warre with him against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell vpon them.

⁸And the Lord gaue them into the hand of Israel: and they smote them, and chased them vnto great Zidon, and vnto Misrephothmaim, and vnto the valley of Mizpeh Eastward, and smote them vntill they had none remaining of them.

⁹And Ioshua did vnto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their charets with fire.

¹⁰At that time also Ioshua turned backe, and tooke Hazor, and smote the King thereof with the sword: for Hazor before time was the head of all those kingdomes.

¹¹Moreouer, they smote all the persons that were therein with the edge of the sworde, vtterly destroying all, leauing none aliue, and hee burnt Hazor with fire.

¹²So all ye cities of those Kings, and all the kings of them did Ioshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and vtterly destroyed them, as Moses the seruant of the Lord had commanded.

¹³But Israel burnt none of the cities that stoode still in their strength, saue Hazor onely, that Ioshua burnt.
