6
But the LORD said unto Joshua, Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this hour I will deliver them up all slain before Israel; thou shalt hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.
7
So Joshua came against them with all the people of war and fell upon them suddenly by the waters of Merom.
8
And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them and chased them unto great Zidon and unto the hot springs and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them no one remaining.
9
And Joshua did unto them as the LORD had commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
10
And Joshua at that time returned and took Hazor and smote the king thereof with the sword because Hazor had been the head of all those kingdoms before.
11
And they smote all the souls that
were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying
them; there was not any left to breathe; and he burnt Hazor with fire.
12
Likewise, Joshua took all the cities of those kings and all their kings and smote them with the edge of the sword,
and he utterly destroyed them as Moses the slave of the LORD had commanded him.
13
But of all the cities that stood on their hills, Israel burned none of them, excepting Hazor only, which Joshua burned.
14
And all the spoil of these cities and the beasts, the sons of Israel took for themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, without leaving any that breathed.
15
As the LORD had commanded Moses his slave, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
16
So Joshua took all that land, the mountains and all the
region of the Negev and all the land of Goshen and the valleys and the plains and the mountain of Israel and its valleys.
