Joshua 11:4-9 ▼

4 So they went out, they and all of their armies with them—a multitude as numerous as the sand on the seashore—accompanied by many horses and chariots.

5 After all these kings had gathered together, they went out and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight Israel.

6 But the LORD told Joshua, |Don't be afraid of them, because tomorrow about this time I am giving them all to you—dead—in the presence of Israel. Hamstring their horses and incinerate their chariots.|

7 So Joshua and his entire fighting force approached them suddenly by the waters of Merom and attacked them.

8 The LORD handed them over to the control of Israel, who defeated them and chased them as far as Greater Sidon and east as far as the Mizpah Valley. They attacked them until none remained.

9 Joshua dealt with them just as the LORD had told him: he hamstrung their horses and incinerated their chariots.
