Book 06 : JOSHUA - Chapter 011
011:001
And to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and
of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in
the borders of Dor on the west
011:002
And to the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and to the
Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite
in the mountains, and to the Hivite under Hermon in the land
of Mizpeh
011:003
And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much
people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in
multitude, with horses and chariots very many
011:004
And when all these kings were met together, they came and
pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against
Israel
011:005
And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them:
for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain
before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their
chariots with fire
011:006
So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against
them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them
011:007
And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote
them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto
Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and
they smote them, until they left them none remaining
011:008
And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he houghed
their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire
011:009
And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote
the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the
head of all those kingdoms
011:010
And they smote all the souls that were therein with the edge
of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left
to breathe: and he burnt Hazor with fire
011:011
And all the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them,
did Joshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword,
and he utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the
LORD commanded
011:012
But as for the cities that stood still in their strength,
Israel burned none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua
burn
011:013
And all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, the
children of Israel took for a prey unto themselves; but every
man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had
destroyed them, neither left they any to breathe
011:014
As the LORD commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command
Joshua, and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that
the LORD commanded Moses
011:015
So Joshua took all that land, the hills, and all the south
country, and all the land of Goshen, and the valley, and the
plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the valley of the same
011:016
Even from the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto
Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon under mount Hermon: and all
their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them
011:017
Joshua made war a long time with all those kings
011:018
There was not a city that made peace with the children of
Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon: all other
they took in battle
011:019
For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, that they
should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy
them utterly, and that they might have no favour, but that he
might destroy them, as the LORD commanded Moses
011:020
And at that time came Joshua, and cut off the Anakims from the
mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all
the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel:
Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities
011:021
There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children
of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there
remained
011:022
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD
said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto
Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the
land rested from war
