Joshua 11:1-6

English Standard Version

Conquests in Northern Canaan

11 When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard of this, he ^(A)sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, ² and to the kings who were in the northern hill country, and in the ^(B)Arabah south of ^(C)Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and ^(D)in Naphoth-dor on the ^(E)west, ³ to the Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the ^(F)Jebusites in the hill country, and the ^(G)Hivites under ^(H)Hermon in the land of ^(I)Mizpah. ⁴ And they came out with all their troops, a great horde, in number ^(J)like the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots. ⁵ And all these kings joined their forces and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.

⁶ And the Lord said to Joshua, ^(K)“Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel. You shall ^(L)hamstring their horses and burn their ^(M)chariots with fire.”
