1When Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,
KJVAnd it came to pass, when JabinH2985 kingH4428 of HazorH2674 had heardH8085(H8800) those things, that he sentH7971(H8799) to JobabH3103 kingH4428 of MadonH4068, and to the kingH4428 of ShimronH8110, and to the kingH4428 of AchshaphH407,
2 and to the kings who were on the north, in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, in the lowland, and in the heights of Dor on the west,
KJVAnd to the kingsH4428 that were on the northH6828 of the mountainsH2022, and of the plainsH6160 southH5045 of ChinnerothH3672, and in the valleyH8219, and in the bordersH5299 of DorH1756 on the westH3220,
3 to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Jebusite in the hill country, and the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.
KJVAnd to the CanaaniteH3669 on the eastH4217 and on the westH3220, and to the AmoriteH567, and the HittiteH2850, and the PerizziteH6522, and the JebusiteH2983 in the mountainsH2022, and to the HiviteH2340 under HermonH2768 in the landH776 of MizpehH4709.
4 They went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.
KJVAnd they went outH3318(H8799), they and all their hostsH4264 with them, muchH7227 peopleH5971, even as the sandH2344 that is upon the seaH3220 shoreH8193 in multitudeH7230, with horsesH5483 and chariotsH7393 veryH3966 manyH7227.
5 All these kings met together; and they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel.
KJVAnd when all these kingsH4428 were met togetherH3259(H8735), they cameH935(H8799) and pitchedH2583(H8799) togetherH3162 at the watersH4325 of MeromH4792, to fightH3898(H8736) against IsraelH3478.
6 Yahweh 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.”
KJVAnd the LORDH3068 saidH559(H8799) unto JoshuaH3091, Be not afraidH3372(H8799) becauseH6440 of them: for to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256 will I deliver them upH5414(H8802) all slainH2491 beforeH6440 IsraelH3478: thou shalt houghH6131(H8762) their horsesH5483, and burnH8313(H8799) their chariotsH4818 with fireH784.
7 So Joshua came suddenly, with all the warriors, against them by the waters of Merom, and attacked them.
KJVSo JoshuaH3091 cameH935(H8799), and all the peopleH5971 of warH4421 with him, against them by the watersH4325 of MeromH4792 suddenlyH6597; and they fell uponH5307(H8799) them.
8 Yahweh 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.
KJVAnd the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414(H8799) them into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, who smoteH5221(H8686) them, and chasedH7291(H8799) them unto greatH7227 ZidonH6721, and unto MisrephothmaimH4956, and unto the valleyH1237 of MizpehH4708 eastwardH4217; and they smoteH5221(H8686) them, until they leftH7604(H8689) them none remainingH8300.
9 Joshua did to them as Yahweh told him. He hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
KJVAnd JoshuaH3091 didH6213(H8799) unto them as the LORDH3068 badeH559(H8804) him: he houghedH6131(H8765) their horsesH5483, and burntH8313(H8804) their chariotsH4818 with fireH784.
10 Joshua 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.
KJVAnd JoshuaH3091 at that timeH6256 turned backH7725(H8799), and tookH3920(H8799) HazorH2674, and smoteH5221(H8689) the kingH4428 thereof with the swordH2719: for HazorH2674 beforetimeH6440 was the headH7218 of all those kingdomsH4467.
11 They 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.
KJVAnd they smoteH5221(H8686) all the soulsH5315 that were therein with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, utterly destroyingH2763(H8687) them: there was not any leftH3498(H8738) to breatheH5397: and he burntH8313(H8804) HazorH2674 with fireH784.
12 Joshua captured all the cities of those kings, with their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of Yahweh commanded.
KJVAnd all the citiesH5892 of those kingsH4428, and all the kingsH4428 of them, did JoshuaH3091 takeH3920(H8804), and smoteH5221(H8686) them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and he utterly destroyedH2763(H8689) them, as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LORDH3068 commandedH6680(H8765).
13 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only. Joshua burned that.
KJVBut as for the citiesH5892 that stoodH5975(H8802) still in their strengthH8510, IsraelH3478 burnedH8313(H8804) none of them, saveH2108 HazorH2674 only; that did JoshuaH3091 burnH8313(H8804).
14 The children of Israel took all the plunder of these cities, with the livestock, as plunder for themselves; but every man they struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They didn’t leave any who breathed.
KJVAnd all the spoilH7998 of these citiesH5892, and the cattleH929, the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 took for a preyH962(H8804) unto themselves; but every manH120 they smoteH5221(H8689) with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, until they had destroyedH8045(H8687) them, neither leftH7604(H8689) they any to breatheH5397.
15 As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua. Joshua did so. He left nothing undone of all that Yahweh commanded Moses.
KJVAs the LORDH3068 commandedH6680(H8765) MosesH4872 his servantH5650, so did MosesH4872 commandH6680(H8765) JoshuaH3091, and so didH6213(H8804) JoshuaH3091; he leftH5493 nothingH1697 undoneH5493(H8689) of all that the LORDH3068 commandedH6680(H8765) MosesH4872.
16 So Joshua captured all that land, the hill country, all the South, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, the Arabah, the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same,
KJVSo JoshuaH3091 tookH3947(H8799) all that landH776, the hillsH2022, and all the south countryH5045, and all the landH776 of GoshenH1657, and the valleyH8219, and the plainH6160, and the mountainH2022 of IsraelH3478, and the valleyH8219 of the same;
17 from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He took all their kings, struck them, and put them to death.
KJVEven from the mountH2022 HalakH2510, that goeth upH5927(H8802) to SeirH8165, even unto BaalgadH1171 in the valleyH1237 of LebanonH3844 under mountH2022 HermonH2768: and all their kingsH4428 he tookH3920(H8804), and smoteH5221(H8686) them, and slewH4191(H8686) them.
18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
KJVJoshuaH3091 madeH6213(H8804) warH4421 a longH7227 timeH3117 with all those kingsH4428.
19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took all in battle.
KJVThere was not a cityH5892 that made peaceH7999(H8689) with the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, save the HivitesH2340 the inhabitantsH3427(H8802) of GibeonH1391: all other they tookH3947(H8804) in battleH4421.
20 For it was of Yahweh to harden their hearts, to come against Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them, that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
KJVFor it was of the LORDH3068 to hardenH2388(H8763) their heartsH3820, that they should come againstH7125(H8800) IsraelH3478 in battleH4421, that he might destroy them utterlyH2763(H8687), and that they might have no favourH8467, but that he might destroyH8045(H8687) them, as the LORDH3068 commandedH6680(H8765) MosesH4872.
21 Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
KJVAnd at that timeH6256 cameH935(H8799) JoshuaH3091, and cut offH3772(H8686) the AnakimsH6062 from the mountainsH2022, from HebronH2275, from DebirH1688, from AnabH6024, and from all the mountainsH2022 of JudahH3063, and from all the mountainsH2022 of IsraelH3478: JoshuaH3091 destroyed them utterlyH2763(H8689) with their citiesH5892.
22 There were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, did some remain.
KJVThere was none of the AnakimsH6062 leftH3498(H8738) in the landH776 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: only in GazaH5804, in GathH1661, and in AshdodH795, there remainedH7604(H8738).
23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
KJVSo JoshuaH3091 tookH3947(H8799) the whole landH776, according to all that the LORDH3068 saidH1696(H8765) unto MosesH4872; and JoshuaH3091 gaveH5414(H8799) it for an inheritanceH5159 unto IsraelH3478 according to their divisionsH4256 by their tribesH7626. And the landH776 restedH8252(H8804) from warH4421.
