ASV_Strong : Joshua 11
1. And it came to pass[H2985], when Jabin king[H4428] of Hazor[H2674] heard[H8085] thereof[H7971], that he sent to Jobab[H3103] king[H4428] of Madon[H4068], and to the king[H4428] of Shimron[H8110], and to the king[H4428] of Achshaph[H407],
2. and to the kings[H4428] that were on the north[H6828], in the hill-country[H2022], and in the Arabah[H6160] south[H5045] of Chinneroth[H3672], and in the lowland[H8219], and in the heights[H5299] of Dor[H1756] on the west[H3220],
3. to the Canaanite[H3669] on the east[H4217] and on the west[H3220], and the Amorite[H567], and the Hittite[H2850], and the Perizzite[H6522], and the Jebusite[H2983] in the hill-country[H2022], and the Hivite[H2340] under Hermon[H2768] in the land[H776] of Mizpah[H4709].
4. And they went out[H3318], they and all their hosts[H4264] with them[H7227], much people[H5971], even as the sand[H2344] that is upon the[H3220] sea-shore[H8193] in multitude[H7230], with horses[H5483] and chariots[H7393] very[H3966] many[H7227].
5. And all these kings[H4428] met together[H3259]; and they came[H935] and encamped[H2583] together[H3259] at the waters[H4325] of Merom[H4792], to fight[H3898] with Israel[H3478].
6. And Jehovah[H3068] said[H559] unto Joshua[H3091], Be not afraid[H3372] because[H6440] of them[H4279]; for to-morrow at this time[H6256] will I deliver them up[H5414] all slain[H2491] before[H6440] Israel[H3478]: thou shalt hock[H6131] their horses[H5483], and burn[H8313] their chariots[H4818] with fire[H784].
7. So Joshua[H3091] came[H935], and all the people[H5971] of war[H4421] with him[H4325], against them by the waters of Merom[H4792] suddenly[H6597], and fell upon them[H5307].
8. And Jehovah[H3068] delivered[H5414] them into the hand[H3027] of Israel[H3478], and they smote[H5221] them[H7291], and chased them unto great[H7227] Sidon[H6721], and unto Misrephoth-maim[H4956], and unto the valley[H1237] of Mizpeh[H4708] eastward[H4217]; and they smote[H5221] them[H7604], until they left them none remaining[H8300].
9. And Joshua[H3091] did[H6213] unto them as Jehovah[H3068] bade[H559] him[H6131]: he hocked their horses[H5483], and burnt[H8313] their chariots[H4818] with fire[H784].
10. And Joshua[H3091] turned back[H7725] at that time[H6256], and took[H3920] Hazor[H2674], and smote[H5221] the king[H4428] thereof with the sword[H2719]: for Hazor[H2674] beforetime[H6440] was the head[H7218] of all those kingdoms[H4467].
11. And they smote[H5221] all the souls[H5315] that were therein with the edge[H6310] of the sword[H2719], utterly destroying[H2763] them[H3498]; there was none left that breathed[H5397]: and he burnt[H8313] Hazor[H2674] with fire[H784].
12. And all the cities[H5892] of those kings[H4428], and all the kings[H4428] of them[H3091], did Joshua take[H3920], and he smote[H5221] them with the edge[H6310] of the sword[H2719], and utterly destroyed[H2763] them[H4872]; as Moses the servant[H5650] of Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680].
13. But as for the cities[H5892] that stood[H5975] on their mounds[H8510], Israel[H3478] burned[H8313] none of them[H2108], save Hazor[H2674] only[H3091]; that did Joshua burn[H8313].
14. And all the spoil[H7998] of these cities[H5892], and the cattle[H929], the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] took for a prey[H962] unto themselves[H120]; but every man they smote[H5221] with the edge[H6310] of the sword[H2719], until they had destroyed[H8045] them[H7604], neither left they any that breathed[H5397].
15. As Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680] Moses[H4872] his servant[H5650], so did Moses[H4872] command[H6680] Joshua[H3091]: and so did[H6213] Joshua[H3091]; he left[H5493] nothing[H1697] undone[H5493] of all that Jehovah[H3068] commanded[H6680] Moses[H4872].
16. So Joshua[H3091] took[H3947] all that land[H776], the hill-country[H2022], and all the South[H5045], and all the land[H5045] of Goshen[H1657], and the lowland[H8219], and the Arabah[H6160], and the hill-country[H2022] of Israel[H3478], and the lowland of the same[H8219];
17. from mount[H2022] Halak[H2510], that goeth up[H5927] to Seir[H8165], even unto Baal-gad[H1171] in the valley[H1237] of Lebanon[H3844] under mount[H2022] Hermon[H2768]: and all their kings[H4428] he took[H3920], and smote[H5221] them[H4191], and put them to death.
18. 60[H3091] made[H6213] war[H4421] a long[H7227] time[H3117] with all those kings[H4428].
19. There was not a city[H5892] that made peace[H7999] with the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], save the Hivites[H2340] the inhabitants[H3427] of Gibeon[H1391]: they took[H3947] all in battle[H4421].
20. For it was of Jehovah[H3068] to harden[H2388] their hearts[H3820], to come against[H7125] Israel[H3478] in battle[H4421], that he might utterly[H2763] destroy them[H8467], that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy[H8045] them[H3068], as Jehovah commanded[H6680] Moses[H4872].
21. And Joshua[H3091] came[H935] at that time[H6256], and cut off[H3772] the Anakim[H6062] from the hill-country[H2022], from Hebron[H2275], from Debir[H1688], from Anab[H6024], and from all the hill-country[H2022] of Judah[H3063], and from all the hill-country[H2022] of Israel[H3478]: Joshua[H3091] utterly[H2763] destroyed them with their cities[H5892].
22. There was none of the Anakim[H6062] left[H3498] in the land[H776] of the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478]: only in Gaza[H5804], in Gath[H1661], and in Ashdod[H795], did some remain[H7604].
23. So Joshua[H3091] took[H3947] the whole land[H776], according to all that Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872]; and Joshua[H3091] gave[H5414] it for an inheritance[H5159] unto Israel[H3478] according to their divisions[H4256] by their tribes[H7626]. And the land[H776] had rest[H8252] from war[H4421].
