Joshua 11:4-9 ▼

4 They went out with all their armies—a multitude as numerous as the sand on the seashore —along with a vast number of horses and chariots.

5 All these kings joined forces; they came and camped together at the Waters of Merom to attack Israel.

6 The LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for at this time tomorrow I will cause all of them to be killed before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.”

7 So Joshua and all his troops surprised them at the Waters of Merom and attacked them.

8 The LORD handed them over to Israel, and they struck them down, pursuing them as far as greater Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and to the east as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. They struck them down, leaving no survivors.

9 Joshua treated them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.
