And it came to pass, when Yavin king of Ḥażor had heard those things, that he sent to Yovav king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Akhshaf,

and to the kings that were in the north, in the mountains, and in the ῾Arava south of Kinnarot, and in the plain, and in the districts of Dor on the west,

and to the Kena῾ani on the east and on the west, and to the Emori, and the Ḥitti, and the Perizzi, and the Yevusi in the mountains, and to the Ḥivvi under Ḥermon in the land of Miżpe.

And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, a people numerous like the sand that is upon the sea shore for multitude, with a great many horses and chariots.

And when all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Yisra᾽el.

And the Lord said to Yehoshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time I will deliver them up all slain before Yisra᾽el: thou shalt lame their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.

So Yehoshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.

And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Yisra᾽el, who smote them, and chased them as far as great Żidon, and as far as Misrefot-mayim, and the valley of Miżpe eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

And Yehoshua did to them as the Lord bade him: he lamed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.

And Yehoshua at that time turned back, and took Ḥażor, and smote its king with the sword: for Ḥażor beforetime was the chief of all those kingdoms.

And they smote all the souls that were in it with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them: there was not any left that breathed: and he burnt Ḥażor with fire.

And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, did Yehoshua take, and smote them with the edge of the sword, and he utterly destroyed them, as Moshe the servant of the Lord commanded.

But as for the cities that stood still on their mounds, Yisra᾽el burned none of them, except Ḥażor only; that did Yehoshua burn.

And all the spoil of those cities, and the cattle, the children of Yisra᾽el took for plunder to themselves; but every man they smote with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them, nor did they leave any that breathed.

As the Lord commanded Moshe his servant, so did Moshe command Yehoshua, and so did Yehoshua; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moshe.

So Yehoshua took all that land, the hills, and all the Negev, and all the land of Goshen, and the plain, and the ῾Arava, and the mountain of Yisra᾽el, and its plain;

from mount Ḥalaq that goes up to Se῾ir, as far as Ba῾al-gad in the valley of Levanon – under mount Ḥermon: and all their kings he took, and smote them, and slew them.

Yehoshua made war a long time with all those kings.

There was not a city that made peace, with the children of Yisra᾽el, except the Ḥivvi, the inhabitants of Giv῾on: they took all in battle.

For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Yisra᾽el in battle, that he might destroy them utterly, and that they might obtain no favour, but that he might destroy them, as the Lord commanded Moshe.

And at that time Yehoshua came, and cut off the ῾Anaqim from the mountain, from Ḥevron, from Devir, from ῾Anav, and from all the mountain of Yehuda, and from all the mountain of Yisra᾽el: Yehoshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.

There were none of the ῾Anaqim left in the land of the children of Yisra᾽el: only in ῾Azza, in Gat, and in Ashdod, did they remain.

So Yehoshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord said to Moshe; and Yehoshua gave it for an inheritance to Yisra᾽el according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.
