4 And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, many people even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with a great multitude of horses and chariots.
5 All these kings united, and as they came they gathered together the camps near the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.
6 But the Lord said unto Joshua, Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this hour I will deliver them up all slain before Israel; thou shalt hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.
7 So Joshua came against them with all the people of war and fell upon them suddenly by the waters of Merom.
8 And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them and chased them unto great Zidon and unto the hot springs and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them no one remaining.
9 And Joshua did unto them as the Lord had commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 And Joshua at that time returned and took Hazor and smote the king thereof with the sword because Hazor had been the head of all those kingdoms before.
