Joshua 11:1-14

Conquests in Northern Canaan

1When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard of this, he asent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, 2and to the kings who were in the northern hill country, and in the bArabah south of cChinneroth, and in the lowland, and din Naphoth-dor on the ewest, 3to the Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the fJebusites in the hill country, and the gHivites under hHermon in the land of iMizpah. 4And they came out with all their troops, a great horde, in number jlike the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots. 5And all these kings joined their forces and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.

6And the Lord said to Joshua, k“Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel. You shall lhamstring their horses and burn their mchariots with fire.” 7So Joshua and all his warriors came nsuddenly against them by the waters of Merom and fell upon them. 8And the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel, who struck them and chased them as far as oGreat Sidon and pMisrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of qMizpeh. And they struck them until he left none remaining. 9And Joshua did to them rjust as the Lord said to him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.

10And Joshua turned back at that time and captured sHazor and struck its king with the sword, for Hazor formerly was the head of all those kingdoms. 11And they struck with the sword all who were in it, devoting them to destruction;
That is, setting apart ( devoting) as an offering to the Lord (for destruction); also verses 12, 20, 21
uthere was none left that breathed. And he burned Hazor with fire.
12And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua captured, and struck them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, vjust as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. 13But none of the cities that stood on mounds did Israel burn, except Hazor alone; that Joshua burned. 14And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock, the people of Israel took for their plunder. But every person they struck with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they did not leave any who breathed.
