Joshua 11:5-11

⁵All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.

⁶Yahweh said to Joshua, “Don’t be afraid because of them; for tomorrow at this time, I will deliver them up all slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”

⁷So Joshua came suddenly, with all the warriors, against them by the waters of Merom, and attacked them.

⁸Yahweh delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward. They struck them until they left them no one remaining.

⁹Joshua did to them as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

¹⁰Joshua turned back at that time, and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor used to be the head of all those kingdoms.

¹¹They struck all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them. There was no one left who breathed. He burned Hazor with fire.
