1 H2985And it came to pass, when JabinH4428kingH2674of HazorH8085had heard[H8800] H7971those things, that he sent[H8799] H3103to JobabH4428kingH4068of MadonH4428, and to the kingH8110of ShimronH4428, and to the kingH407of Achshaph, 2 H4428And to the kingsH6828that were on the northH2022of the mountainsH6160, and of the plainsH5045southH3672of ChinnerothH8219, and in the valleyH5299, and in the bordersH1756of DorH3220on the west, 3 H3669And to the CanaaniteH4217on the eastH3220and on the westH567, and to the AmoriteH2850, and the HittiteH6522, and the PerizziteH2983, and the JebusiteH2022in the mountainsH2340, and to the HiviteH2768under HermonH776in the landH4709of Mizpeh. 4 H3318And they went out[H8799] H4264, they and all their hostsH7227with them, muchH5971peopleH2344, even as the sandH3220that is upon the seaH8193shoreH7230in multitudeH5483, with horsesH7393and chariotsH3966veryH7227many. 5 H4428And when all these kingsH3259were met together[H8735] H935, they came[H8799] H2583and pitched[H8799] H3162togetherH4325at the watersH4792of MeromH3898, to fight[H8736] H3478against Israel. 6 H3068And the LORDH559said[H8799] H3091unto JoshuaH3372, Be not afraid[H8799] H6440becauseH4279of them: for to morrowH6256about this timeH5414will I deliver them up[H8802] H2491all slainH6440beforeH3478IsraelH6131: thou shalt hough[H8762] H5483their horsesH8313, and burn[H8799] H4818their chariotsH784with fire. 7 H3091So JoshuaH935came[H8799] H5971, and all the peopleH4421of warH4325with him, against them by the watersH4792of MeromH6597suddenlyH5307; and they fell upon[H8799] them. 8 H3068And the LORDH5414delivered[H8799] H3027them into the handH3478of IsraelH5221, who smote[H8686] H7291them, and chased[H8799] H7227them unto greatH6721ZidonH4956, and unto MisrephothmaimH1237, and unto the valleyH4708of MizpehH4217eastwardH5221; and they smote[H8686] H7604them, until they left[H8689] H8300them none remaining. 9 H3091And JoshuaH6213did[H8799] H3068unto them as the LORDH559bade[H8804] H6131him: he houghed[H8765] H5483their horsesH8313, and burnt[H8804] H4818their chariotsH784with fire. 10 H3091And JoshuaH6256at that timeH7725turned back[H8799] H3920, and took[H8799] H2674HazorH5221, and smote[H8689] H4428the kingH2719thereof with the swordH2674: for HazorH6440beforetimeH7218was the headH4467of all those kingdoms. 11 H5221And they smote[H8686] H5315all the soulsH6310that were therein with the edgeH2719of the swordH2763, utterly destroying[H8687] H3498them : there was not any left[H8738] H5397to breatheH8313: and he burnt[H8804] H2674HazorH784with fire. 12 H5892And all the citiesH4428of those kingsH4428, and all the kingsH3091of them, did JoshuaH3920take[H8804] H5221, and smote[H8686] H6310them with the edgeH2719of the swordH2763, and he utterly destroyed[H8689] H4872them, as MosesH5650the servantH3068of the LORDH6680commanded[H8765] . 13 H5892But as for the citiesH5975that stood[H8802] H8510still in their strengthH3478, IsraelH8313burned[H8804] H2108none of them, saveH2674HazorH3091only; that did JoshuaH8313burn[H8804] . 14 H7998And all the spoilH5892of these citiesH929, and the cattleH1121, the childrenH3478of IsraelH962took for a prey[H8804] H120unto themselves; but every manH5221they smote[H8689] H6310with the edgeH2719of the swordH8045, until they had destroyed[H8687] H7604them, neither left[H8689] H5397they any to breathe. 15 H3068As the LORDH6680commanded[H8765] H4872MosesH5650his servantH4872, so did MosesH6680command[H8765] H3091JoshuaH6213, and so did[H8804] H3091JoshuaH5493; he leftH1697nothingH5493undone[H8689] H3068of all that the LORDH6680commanded[H8765] H4872Moses. 16 H3091So JoshuaH3947took[H8799] H776all that landH2022, the hillsH5045, and all the south countryH776, and all the landH1657of GoshenH8219, and the valleyH6160, and the plainH2022, and the mountainH3478of IsraelH8219, and the valley of the same; 17 H2022Even from the mountH2510HalakH5927, that goeth up[H8802] H8165to SeirH1171, even unto BaalgadH1237in the valleyH3844of LebanonH2022under mountH2768HermonH4428: and all their kingsH3920he took[H8804] H5221, and smote[H8686] H4191them, and slew[H8686] them. 18 H3091JoshuaH6213made[H8804] H4421warH7227a longH3117timeH4428with all those kings. 19 H5892There was not a cityH7999that made peace[H8689] H1121with the childrenH3478of IsraelH2340, save the HivitesH3427the inhabitants[H8802] H1391of GibeonH3947: all other they took[H8804] H4421in battle. 20 H3068For it was of the LORDH2388to harden[H8763] H3820their heartsH7125, that they should come against[H8800] H3478IsraelH4421in battleH2763, that he might destroy them utterly[H8687] H8467, and that they might have no favourH8045, but that he might destroy[H8687] H3068them, as the LORDH6680commanded[H8765] H4872Moses. 21 H6256And at that timeH935came[H8799] H3091JoshuaH3772, and cut off[H8686] H6062the AnakimsH2022from the mountainsH2275, from HebronH1688, from DebirH6024, from AnabH2022, and from all the mountainsH3063of JudahH2022, and from all the mountainsH3478of IsraelH3091: JoshuaH2763destroyed them utterly[H8689] H5892with their cities. 22 H6062There was none of the AnakimsH3498left[H8738] H776in the landH1121of the childrenH3478of IsraelH5804: only in GazaH1661, in GathH795, and in AshdodH7604, there remained[H8738] . 23 H3091So JoshuaH3947took[H8799] H776the whole landH3068, according to all that the LORDH1696said[H8765] H4872unto MosesH3091; and JoshuaH5414gave[H8799] H5159it for an inheritanceH3478unto IsraelH4256according to their divisionsH7626by their tribesH776. And the landH8252rested[H8804] H4421from war. |
