Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and they fought against it.

And they captured it and struck it with the edge of the sword as well as its king and all its cities and every soul that was in it. He left no survivor, just as he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it and every soul that was in it.

Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to Debir, and he fought against it.

And he captured it and its king and all its cities; and they struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed every soul that was in it; he left no survivor. As he had done to Hebron, and as he had done to Libnah and its king, so he did to Debir and its king.

Thus Joshua struck the whole land: the hill country and the Negev and the lowland and the slopes and all their kings; he left no survivor but utterly destroyed everything that breathed, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded.

And Joshua struck them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza, and all the land of Goshen even unto Gibeon.

Now all these kings and their lands Joshua took at one time, for Jehovah the God of Israel fought for Israel.

Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp at Gilgal.

And when Jabin the king of Hazor heard of this, he sent word to Jobab the king of Madon and to the king of Shimron and to the king of Achshaph

And to the kings who were on the north in the hill country and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth and in the lowland and in the highland of Dor on the west;

To the Canaanites on the east and on the west; and the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill country; and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

And they went out, they and all their camps with them, a people as great as the sand on the seashore in number, and very many horses and chariots.

And all these kings met together, and they came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight with Israel.

Then Jehovah said to Joshua, Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I will deliver all of them up slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.

So Joshua and all the people of war with him went against them at the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fell on them.

And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them and pursued them to Great Sidon and to Misrephoth-maim and to the valley of Mizpeh eastward. And they struck them until no survivor was left to them.

So Joshua did to them according to what Jehovah had spoken to him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

Then Joshua returned at that time and took Hazor, and he struck its king with the sword; for Hazor had formerly been the head of all these kingdoms.

And they struck every soul that was in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying it; nothing that breathed was left. And he burned Hazor with fire.

And all the cities of these kings with all their kings, Joshua took; and he struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded.
