chapter 11
1
And
when Jabin king of Asor had heard these things, he sent to Jobab king of Madon,
and to the king of Semeron, and to the king of Achsaph:
2 And to the kings of the north, that dwelt in the
mountains and in the plains over against the south side of Ceneroth, and in the
levels and the countries of Dor by the sea side :
3 To the Chanaanites also on the ease and on the west,
and the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Jebusite in the
mountains: to the Hevite also who dwelt at the foot of Hermon in the land of
Maspha.
4 And they all came out with their troops, a people
exceeding numerous as the sand that is on the sea shore, their horses also and
chariots a very great multitude,
5 And all these kings assembled together at the waters
of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6 And the Lord said to Josue: Fear them not: for to
morrow at this same hour I will deliver all these to be slain in the sight of
Israel: thou shalt hamstring their horses, and thou shalt burn their chariots
with fire.
7 And Josue came, and all the army with him, against
them to the waters of Merom on a sudden, and fell upon them.
8 And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel.
And they defeated them, and chased them as far as the great Sidon, and the
waters of Maserophot, and the field of Masphe, which is on the east side
thereof. He slew them all, so as to leave no remains of them:
9 And he did as the Lord had commanded him, he
hamstringed their horses and burned their chariots.
10 And presently turning back he took Asor: and slew
the king thereof with the sword. Now Asor of old was the head of all these
kingdoms.
11 And he cut off all the souls that abode there: he
left not in it any remains, but utterly destroyed all, and burned the city
itself with fire.
12 And he took and put to the sword and destroyed all
the cities round about, and their kings, as Moses the servant of God had
commanded him.
13 Except the cities that were on hills and high
places, the rest Israel burned: only Asor that was very strong he consumed with
fire.
14 And the children of Israel divided among themselves
all the spoil of these cities and the cattle, killing all the men.
15 As the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so did
Moses command Josue, and he accomplished all: he left not one thing undone of
all the commandments which the Lord had commanded Moses.
16 So Josue took all the country of the hills, and of
the south, and the land of Gosen, and the plains and the west country, and the
mountain of Israel, and the plains thereof:
17 And part of the mountain that goeth up to Seir as
far as Baalgad, by the plain of Libanus under mount Hermon: all their kings he
took, smote and slew.
18 Josue made war a long time against these kings.
19 There was hot a city that delivered itself to the
children of Israel, except the Hevite, who dwelt in Gabaon: for he took all by
fight.
20 For it was the sentence of the Lord, that their
hearts should be hardened, and they should fight against Israel, and fall, and
should not deserve any clemency, and should be destroyed as the Lord had
commanded Moses.
21 At that time Josue came and cut off the Enacims from
the mountains, from Hebron, and Dabir, and Anab, and from all the mountain of
Juda and Israel, and destroyed their cities.
22 He left not any of the stock of the Enacims, in the
land of the children of Israel: except the cities of Gaza, and Geth, and
Azotus, in which alone they were left.
23 So Josue took all the land, as the Lord spoke to
Moses, and delivered it in possession to the children of Israel, according to
their divisions and tribes. And the land rested from wars.
