Joshua 11:7-15

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.

¹⁴The Israelis took for themselves the animals that they found in those cities and everything else that was valuable DOU. But they killed all the people.

¹⁵Many years before, Yahweh had told Moses to do that, and then Moses told Joshua to do it. So Joshua did everything that Yahweh had commanded Moses to do.
