4 They came with all their soldiers—an army with as many men as there are grains of sand on the seashore. They also had many horses and chariots.
5 All of these kings joined forces and came together and set up camp at Merom Brook to fight against Israel.
6 The Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them. By this time tomorrow I will have killed all of them for Israel. You are to cripple their horses and burn their chariots.”
7 So Joshua and all his men attacked them by surprise at Merom Brook.
8 The Lord gave the Israelites victory over them; the Israelites attacked and pursued them as far north as Misrephoth Maim and Sidon, and as far east as the valley of Mizpah. The fight continued until none of the enemy was left alive.
9 Joshua did to them what the Lord had commanded: he crippled their horses and burned their chariots.
10 Joshua then turned back, captured Hazor and killed its king. (At that time Hazor was the most powerful of all those kingdoms.)
