| [1]And it cometh to pass when Jabin king of Hazor heareth, that he sendeth unto Jobab king of Madon, and unto the king of Shimron, and unto the king of Achshaph, |
[1]And when Jabin king of Hazor had heard this, then he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, |
| [2]and unto the kings who [are] on the north in the hill-country, and in the plain south of Chinneroth, and in the low country, and in the elevations of Dor, on the west, |
[2]And unto the kings that were by the north in the mountains and plains toward the south side of Cinnereth, and in the valleys, and in the borders of Dor westward, |
| [3][to] the Canaanite on the east, and on the west, and the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the hill-country, and the Hivite under Hermon, in the land of Mizpeh -- |
[3]And unto the Canaanites, both by east, and by west, and unto the Amorites, and Hittites, and Perizzites, and Jebusites in the mountains, and unto the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpeh. |
| [4]and they go out, they and all their camps with them, a people numerous, as the sand which [is] on the sea-shore for multitude, and horse and charioteer very many; |
[4]And they came out and all their hosts with them, many people as the sand that is on the sea shore for multitude, with horses and chariots exceeding many. |
| [5]and all these kings are met together, and they come and encamp together at the waters of Merom, to fight with Israel. |
[5]So all these kings met together, and came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, for to fight against Israel. |
| [6]And Jehovah saith unto Joshua, `Be not afraid of their presence, for to-morrow about this time I am giving all of them wounded before Israel; their horses thou dost hough, and their chariots burn with fire.' |
[6]Then the Lord said unto Joshua, Be not afraid for them: for tomorrow about this time will I deliver them all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire. |
| [7]And Joshua cometh, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fall on them; |
[7]Then came Joshua and all the men of war with him against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and fell upon them. |
| [8]and Jehovah giveth them into the hand of Israel, and they smite them and pursue them unto the great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-Maim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward, and they smite them, till he hath not left to them a remnant; |
[8]And the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel: and they smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward, and smote them until they had none remaining of them. |
| [9]and Joshua doth to them as Jehovah said to him; their horses he hath houghed, and their chariots burnt with fire. |
[9]And Joshua did unto them as the Lord bade him: he houghed their horses, and burned their chariots with fire. |
| [10]And Joshua turneth back at that time, and captureth Hazor, and its king he hath smitten by the sword; for Hazor formerly [is] head of all these kingdoms; |
[10]At that time also Joshua turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor before time was the head of all those kingdoms. |
| [11]and they smite every person who [is] in it by the mouth of the sword; he hath devoted -- he hath not left any one breathing, and Hazor he hath burnt with fire; |
[11]Moreover, they smote all the persons that were therein with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying all, leaving none alive, and he burned Hazor with fire. |
| [12]and all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, hath Joshua captured, and he smiteth them by the mouth of the sword; he devoted them, as Moses, servant of Jehovah, commanded. |
[12]So 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 utterly destroyed them, as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. |
| [13]Only, all the cities which are standing by their hill, Israel hath not burned them, save Hazor only, [it] hath Joshua burnt; |
[13]But Israel burned none of the cities that stood still in their strength, save Hazor only, that Joshua burned. |
| [14]and all the spoil of these cities, and the cattle, have the sons of Israel spoiled for themselves; only, every human being they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, till their destroying them; they have not left any one breathing. |
[14]And all the spoil of these cities and the cattle the children of Israel took for their prey, but they smote every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, not leaving one alive. |
| [15]As Jehovah commanded Moses His servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so hath Joshua done; he hath not turned aside a thing of all that Jehovah commanded Moses. |
[15]As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua: he left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses. |
| [16]And Joshua taketh all this land: the hill-country, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, even the hill-country of Israel and its low lands, |
[16]So Joshua took all this land of the mountains, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the low country of the same, |
| [17]from the mount of Halak, which is going up [to] Seir, and unto Baal-Gad, in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon; and all their kings he hath captured, and he smiteth them, and putteth them to death. |
[17]From the mount Halak, that goeth up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon, under mount Hermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them. |
| [18]Many days hath Joshua made with all these kings war; |
[18]Joshua made war long time with all those kings, |
| [19]there hath not been a city which made peace with the sons of Israel save the Hivite, inhabitants of Gibeon; the whole they have taken in battle; |
[19]Neither was there any city that made peace with the children of Israel, save those Hivites that inhabited Gibeon: all other they took by battle. |
| [20]for from Jehovah it hath been to strengthen their heart, to meet in battle with Israel, in order to devote them, so that they have no grace, but in order to destroy them, as Jehovah commanded Moses. |
[20]For it came of the Lord, to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle to the intent that they should destroy them utterly, and show them no mercy, but that they should bring them to naught: as the Lord had commanded Moses. |
| [21]And Joshua cometh at that time, and cutteth off the Anakim from the hill-country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, even from all the hill-country of Judah, and from all the hill-country of Israel; with their cities hath Joshua devoted them. |
[21]And that same season came Joshua, and destroyed the Anakims out of the mountains: as out of Hebron, out of Debir, out of Anab, and out of all the mountains of Judah, and out of all the mountains of Israel: Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities. |
| [22]There hath not been left Anakim in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, were they left. |
[22]There was no Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel: only in Azzah, in Gath, and in Ashdod were they left. |
| [23]And Joshua taketh the whole of the land, according to all that Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses, and Joshua giveth it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions, by their tribes; and the land hath rest from war. |
[23]So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had said unto Moses: and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their portion through their tribes: then the land was at rest without war. |
