38 Then Joshua and all Israel with him turned to Dabir, and fought against him.

39 And they took him, and his king, and all his cities, and smote them with the sword, and put to death all that breathed in him: there was no one left to survive. As he did to Hebron and his king, so did he to Debir and his king, and as he did to Libnah and her king.

40 And Joshua smote all the land on the hills, and the noonday, and the lowlands, and the land that lay by the mountains, and all their kings: he left no one to survive, and he put every thing that breathed under the curse, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.

41 Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen even to Gibeon;

42 And all these kings and their land Joshua took at once, for the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.

43 Then Joshua and all the Israelites with him returned to the camp, to Gilgal.

Chapter 11

1 And when Jabin, king of Hazor, had heard this, he sent to Jobab king of Madona, and to king of Shimron, and to king of Ahsaph,

2 and to the kings who dwelt to the north on the mountain, and in the plain on the south side of Hinnarath, and in the lowlands, and in Nathoth-dor to the west,

3 To the Canaanites who dwelt to the east, and to the sea, and to the Amorites, and to the Hittites, and to the Perizzites, and to the Jebusites, who dwelt in the mountain, and to the Hivites who dwelt near Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

4 And they went out, and all their host with them, a multitude of people, who were equal to the sand on the shore of the sea; and there were many horses and chariots.

5 And all these kings gathered together, and came, and encamped together by the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

6 But the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not, for to-morrow, about this time, I will deliver them all up to be slain by Israel. And cut their horses' sinews, and burn their chariots with fire.

7 And Joshua, and with him all the people capable of war, suddenly came out against them to the waters of Merom, and attacked them.
