Chapter 11

1When the news reached King Jabin of Hazor, he sent messages to King Jobab of Madon, to the king of Shimron, to the king of Achshaph,

vai-HI kish-MO-a ya-VIN me-lekh-KHA-tzor, va-yish-LAKH el yo-VAV me-lekh ma-DON, v'-el me-lekh shi-MRON, v'-el me-lekh akh-SHAF

2and to the other kings in the north—in the hill country, in the Arabah south of Chinnereth, in the lowlands, and in the district of Dor on the west;

3to the Canaanites in the east and in the west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites at the foot of Chermon, in the land of Mitzpa.

4They took the field with all their armies—an enormous host, as numerous as the sands on the seashore—and a vast multitude of horses and chariots.

5All these kings joined forces; they came and encamped together at the Waters of Merom to give battle to Yisrael.

6But Hashem said to Yehoshua, “Do not be afraid of them; tomorrow at this time I will have them all lying slain before Yisrael. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.”

7So Yehoshua, with all his fighting men, came upon them suddenly at the Waters of Merom, and pounced upon them.

8Hashem delivered them into the hands of Yisrael, and they defeated them and pursued them all the way to Great Sidon and Misrephothmaim, and all the way to the Valley of Mizpeh on the east; they crushed them, letting none escape.

9And Yehoshua dealt with them as Hashem had ordered him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.

10Yehoshua then turned back and captured Hazor and put her king to the sword.—Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms.

11They proscribed and put to the sword every person in it. Not a soul survived, and Hazor itself was burned down.

12Yehoshua captured all those royal cities and their kings. He put them to the sword; he proscribed them in accordance with the charge of Moshe, the servant of Hashem.

v'-et kol a-RAY ha-m'-la-kheem ha-AY-leh v'-et kol mal-khay-HEM la-KHAD y'-ho-SHU-a va-ya-KAYM l'-fee KHE-rev he-khe-REEM o-TAM ka-a-SHER tzi-VAH mo-SHEH E-ved a-do-NAI

13However, all those towns that are still standing on their mounds were not burned down by Yisrael; it was Hazor alone that Yehoshua burned down.

14The Israelites kept all the spoil and cattle of the rest of those cities as booty. But they cut down their populations with the sword until they exterminated them; they did not spare a soul.

15Just as Hashem had commanded His servant Moshe, so Moshe had charged Yehoshua, and so Yehoshua did; he left nothing undone of all that Hashem had commanded Moshe.

16Yehoshua conquered the whole of this region: the hill country [of Yehuda], the Negev, the whole land of Goshen, the Shephelah, the Arabah, and the hill country and coastal plain of Yisrael

17[everything] from Mount Halak, which ascends to Seir, all the way to Baal-gad in the Valley of the Lebanon at the foot of Mount Chermon; and he captured all the kings there and executed them.

18Yehoshua waged war with all those kings over a long period.

19Apart from the Hivites who dwelt in Givon, not a single city made terms with the Israelites; all were taken in battle.

20For it was Hashem's doing to stiffen their hearts to give battle to Yisrael, in order that they might be proscribed without quarter and wiped out, as Hashem had commanded Moshe.

21At that time, Yehoshua went and wiped out the Anakites from the hill country, from Chevron, Debir, and Anab, from the entire hill country of Yehuda, and from the entire hill country of Yisrael; Yehoshua proscribed them and their towns.

22No Anakites remained in the land of the Israelites; but some remained in Azza, Gath, and Ashdod.

23Thus Yehoshua conquered the whole country, just as Hashem had promised Moshe; and Yehoshua assigned it to Yisrael to share according to their tribal divisions. And the land had rest from war.
