5 All these kings joined forces, came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight with Israel.
6 But Adonai said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give all of them slain before Israel. You are to hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
7 So Joshua and all the people of war with him attacked them suddenly at the waters of Merom and fell upon them.
8 Then Adonai gave them into the hand of Israel, so they defeated them and chased them as far as Great Zidon and Misrephoth-maim, and up to the Valley of Mizpeh eastward. They struck them down until they left them no survivors.
9 Joshua did to them as Adonai had instructed him—he hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and struck its king with the sword, because Hazor had formerly been the head of all those kingdoms.
11 They struck down every single soul in it with the edge of the sword, putting them to the ban. There was none left that breathed after he burned Hazor with fire.
