1. And it came to be, when Yaḇin sovereign of Ḥatsor heard, that he sent to Yoḇaḇ sovereign of Maḏon, and to the sovereign of Shimron, and to the sovereign of Aḵshaph,
2. and to the sovereigns who were from the north, in the mountains, and in the desert plain south of Kinneroth, and in the low country, and in the heights of Dor on the west –
3. the Kena‛anites in the east and in the west, and the Amorite, and the Ḥittite, and the Perizzite, and the Yeḇusite in the mountains, and the Ḥiwwite below Ḥermon in the land of Mitspah.
4. And they went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as numerous as the sand on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots.
5. And all these sovereigns met together, and they came and camped together at the waters of Mĕrom to fight against Yisra’ĕl.
6. And יהוה said to Yehoshua, “Do not be afraid of their presence, for tomorrow about this time I am giving all of them over to Yisra’ĕl, slain. Hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
7. And Yehoshua, and all the soldiers with him, came against them suddenly by the waters of Mĕrom, and they fell on them.
8. And יהוה gave them into the hand of Yisra’ĕl, and they smote them and pursued them to Great Tsiḏon, and to Misrephoth Mayim, and to the Valley of Mitspeh eastward. And they smote them until no survivor was left to them.
9. And Yehoshua did to them as יהוה said to him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
