7So Ioshua came, and all the people of warre with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly, and they fell vpon them. 8And the Lord deliuered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them vnto great Zidon, and vnto Misrephothmaim, and vnto the valley of Mizpeh Eastward, and they smote them, vntill they left them none remayning. 9And Ioshua did vnto them as the Lord bade him: hee houghed their horses, and burnt their charets with fire. 10¶ And Ioshua at that time turned backe, and tooke Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdomes. 11And they smote all the soules that were therein with the edge of the sword, vtterly destroying them: there was not any left to breathe; and he burnt Hazor with fire.
