4So the armies of all those kings gathered together, bringing their horses and chariots. There seemed to be HYP as many soldiers as grains of sand on the seashore.
5All of those kings and their armies gathered together at Merom Pond, and they set up their tents there. Then they made plans to fight against the Israelis.
6Then Yahweh said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, because at this time tomorrow I will enable your men to defeat them. Your men must also cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”
7So Joshua and his army traveled to Merom Pond and attacked their enemies ◄by surprise/before they were ready to fight►.
8Yahweh enabled the Israelis to defeat them. They pursued them to Sidon city in the far north, and to Misrephoth-Maim in the northwest, and to Mizpah Valley in the northeast. The Israelis fought them until ◄they were all dead/there were no survivors►.
9Then Joshua and his men did what Yahweh told them to do: They crippled their enemies' horses and burned their chariots.
10The king of Hazor had ruled the people of all the kingdoms whose armies had fought against the Israelis. So Joshua's army went back to Hazor and captured that city and killed their king.
11They killed everyone in Hazor; ◄they did not spare anyone/no one was left alive► DOU. Then they burned the city.
12Joshua's army captured all of those cities and killed all of their kings. They did that like Moses, the man who served Yahweh well, had commanded them to do.
13Joshua's men burned Hazor city, but they did not burn any of the other cities that were built on small hills.
