Conquests in Northern Canaan

1 When Jabin, king of Hazor, heard of this, he sent to Jobab king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph, (Jos 10:3) 2 and to the kings who were in the northern hill country, and in the Arabah south of Chinneroth, and in the lowland, and in Naphoth-dor on the west, (Nu 34:11; De 1:1; Jos 3:16; Jos 12:3; Jos 12:23; Jos 13:27; Jos 17:11; Jos 19:35; Jud 1:27)

Nu 34:11De 1:1Jos 3:16Jos 12:3Jos 12:23Jos 13:27Jos 17:11Jos 19:35Jud 1:27

3 to the Canaanites in the east and the west, the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, and the Jebusites in the hill country, and the Hivites under Hermon in the land of Mizpah. (Ge 31:49; De 3:8; Jos 11:8; Jos 15:63; Jud 3:3)

Ge 31:49De 3:8Jos 11:8Jos 15:63Jud 3:3

4 And they came out with all their troops, a great horde, in number like the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots. (Ge 22:17; Ge 32:12; Jud 7:12; 1Sa 13:5)

Ge 22:17Ge 32:12Jud 7:121Sa 13:5

5 And all these kings joined their forces and came and encamped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel. 6 And the Lord said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them, for tomorrow at this time I will give over all of them, slain, to Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.” (Ge 49:6; De 20:1; Jos 10:8; Jos 11:9; Jos 17:16; Jud 1:19; Jud 4:3; 2Sa 8:4; 1Ch 18:4)

7 So Joshua and all his warriors came suddenly against them by the waters of Merom and fell upon them. (Jos 10:9) 8 And the Lord gave them into the hand of Israel, who struck them and chased them as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and eastward as far as the Valley of Mizpeh. And they struck them until he left none remaining. (Jos 11:3; Jos 13:6; Jos 19:28) 9 And Joshua did to them just as the Lord said to him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire. (Jos 11:6) 10 And Joshua turned back at that time and captured Hazor and struck its king with the sword, for Hazor formerly was the head of all those kingdoms. (Jud 4:2) 11 And they struck with the sword all who were in it, devoting them to destruction;^[1] there was none left that breathed. And he burned Hazor with fire. (Jos 10:40) 12 And all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua captured, and struck them with the edge of the sword, devoting them to destruction, just as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. (De 20:16) 13 But none of the cities that stood on mounds did Israel burn, except Hazor alone; that Joshua burned. 14 And all the spoil of these cities and the livestock, the people of Israel took for their plunder. But every person they struck with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they did not leave any who breathed. 15 Just as the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses. (Ex 34:11; De 7:2; Jos 1:7) 16 So Joshua took all that land, the hill country and all the Negeb and all the land of Goshen and the lowland and the Arabah and the hill country of Israel and its lowland (Jos 10:41; Jos 11:2; Jos 11:21; Jos 12:8; Jos 15:51)

Jos 10:41Jos 11:2Jos 11:21Jos 12:8Jos 15:51

17 from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. And he captured all their kings and struck them and put them to death. (De 7:24; Jos 11:3; Jos 12:7; Jos 13:5)

De 7:24Jos 11:3Jos 12:7Jos 13:5

18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. (Jos 14:7; Jos 14:10) 19 There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took them all in battle. (Jos 9:3; Jos 9:7) 20 For it was the Lord’s doing to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be devoted to destruction and should receive no mercy but be destroyed, just as the Lord commanded Moses. (Ex 4:21; De 20:16) 21 And Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction with their cities. (Nu 13:22; De 1:28; Jos 15:13) 22 There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod did some remain. (1Sa 17:4) 23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war. (Nu 26:52; Nu 34:2; Jos 12:7; Jos 18:10)

هزيمة ملوك الشمال

1 وَمَا إِنْ سَمِعَ يَابِينُ مَلِكُ حَاصُورَ بِانْتِصَارَاتِ يَشُوعَ حَتَّى بَعَثَ بِدَعْوَاتٍ إِلَى يُوبَابَ مَلِكِ مَادُونَ وَإِلَى مَلِكِ شِمْرُونَ وَإِلَى مَلِكِ أَكْشَافَ، 2 وَإِلَى مُلُوكِ الْجَبَلِ شِمَالًا وَمُلُوكِ وَادِي الأُرْدُنِّ جَنُوبِيَّ بُحَيْرَةِ الْجَلِيلِ، وَمُلُوكِ السَّهْلِ وَمُلُوكِ مُرْتَفَعَاتِ دُورٍ غَرْباً، 3 وَإِلَى مُلُوكِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّينَ فِي الشَّرْقِ وَالْغَرْبِ، وَالأَمُورِيِّينَ وَالْحِثِّيِّينَ وَالْفِرِزِّيِّينَ وَالْيَبُوسِيِّينَ فِي إِقْلِيمِ الْجَبَلِ، وَالْحِوِّيِّينَ الْمُقِيمِينَ عَلَى سَفْحِ جَبَلِ حَرْمُونَ فِي أَرْضِ الْمِصْفَاةِ. 4 فَاحْتَشَدُوا هُمْ وَجُيُوشُهُمُ الْغَفِيرَةُ وَخُيُولُهُمْ وَمَرْكَبَاتُهُمْ فَكَانُوا فِي كَثْرَتِهِمْ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ. 5 وَالْتَقَى جَمِيعُ هَؤُلاءِ الْمُلُوكِ فِي مَوْعِدٍ مُحَدَّدٍ حَيْثُ خَيَّمُوا مَعاً عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَيْرُومَ لِمُحَارَبَةِ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ. 6 فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لِيَشُوعَ: «لا تَخْشَ مِنْهُمْ. غَداً فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْوَقْتِ أُهْلِكُهُمْ أَمَامَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَتُعَرْقِبُ خُيُولَهُمْ وَتُحْرِقُ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ بِالنَّارِ». 7 فَجَاءَ يَشُوعُ وَجَمِيعُ جُنُودِهِ وَبَاغَتُوهُمْ عِنْدَ مِيَاهِ مَيْرُومَ وَهَجَمُوا عَلَيْهِمْ، 8 فَأَسْلَمَهُمُ الرَّبُّ إِلَى يَدِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَضَرَبُوهُمْ وَطَارَدُوهُمْ شِمَالاً حَتَّى صِيدُونَ الْعَظِيمَةِ وَإِلَى مِسْرَفُوتَ مَايِمَ وَإِلَى وَادِي مِصْفَاةَ شَرْقاً، وَقَضَوْا عَلَيْهِمْ بِحَيْثُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْ مِنْهُمْ نَاجٍ. 9 وَفَعَلَ بِهِمْ يَشُوعُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ الرَّبُّ، فَعَرْقَبَ خُيُولَهُمْ وَأَحْرَقَ مَرْكَبَاتِهِمْ بِالنَّارِ. 10 ثُمَّ رَجَعَ يَشُوعُ وَاسْتَوْلَى عَلَى حَاصُورَ وَقَتَلَ مَلِكَهَا بِالسَّيْفِ، لأَنَّ حَاصُورَ كَانَتْ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ زَعِيمَةَ جَمِيعِ تِلْكَ الْمَمَالِكِ. 11 وَقَضَوْا فِيهَا عَلَى كُلِّ نَسَمَةٍ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، فَلَمْ يَبْقَ فِيهَا حَيٌّ، وَأَحْرَقُوهَا بِالنَّارِ. 12 وَاسْتَوْلَى يَشُوعُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُدُنِ أَعْدَائِهِ وَقَضَى عَلَى مُلُوكِهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ كَمَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى عَبْدُ الرَّبِّ. 13 غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُحْرِقِ الْمُدُنَ الْقَائِمَةَ عَلَى التِّلالِ، إِلّا حَاصُورَ وَحْدَهَا الَّتِي أَضْرَمَ فِيهَا النَّارَ 14 وَنَهَبَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ كُلَّ غَنَائِمِ تِلْكَ الْمُدُنِ. أَمَّا الرِّجَالُ فَقَتَلُوهُمْ بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ حَيٌّ. 15 كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى عَبْدَهُ هَكَذَا أَمَرَ مُوسَى يَشُوعَ، فَنَفَّذَ يَشُوعُ مَا عُهِدَ إِلَيْهِ بِهِ فَلَمْ يُغْفِلْ شَيْئاً مِنْ كُلِّ مَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ مُوسَى. 16 وَاسْتَوْلَى يَشُوعُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرَاضِي: إِقْلِيمِ الْجَبَلِ وَكُلِّ مِنْطَقَةِ الْجَنُوبِ وَسَائِرِ أَرْضِ جُوشِنَ وَالسَّهْلِ وَوَادِي الأُرْدُنِّ وَجَبَلِ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَسَهْلِهِ. 17 فَأَصْبَحَتْ أَرْضُ إِسْرَائِيلَ تَمْتَدُّ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ الأَقْرَعِ بِاتِّجَاهِ أَرْضِ أَدُومَ فِي الْجَنُوبِ، إِلَى بَعْلِ جَادٍ شِمَالاً فِي وَادِي لُبْنَانَ عِنْدَ سَفْحِ حَرْمُونَ، وَأَسَرَ جَمِيعَ مُلُوكِهَا وَقَتَلَهُمْ. 18 فَخَاضَ يَشُوعُ حَرْباً مَعَ أُولَئِكَ الْمُلُوكِ أَيَّاماً كَثِيرَةً. 19 وَلَمْ تَعْقِدْ مَدِينَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ صُلْحاً مَعَ الإِسْرَائِيلِيِّينَ إِلّا الْحِوِّيِّينَ سُكَّانَ جِبْعُونَ، إِنَّمَا اسْتَوْلَى الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُدُنِ بِالْحَرْبِ. 20 لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ نَفْسَهُ هُوَ الَّذِي قَسَّى قُلُوبَهُمْ لِخَوْضِ الْحَرْبِ ضِدَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيُدَمِّرَهُمُ الإِسْرَائِيلِيُّونَ وَيُفْنُوهُمْ مِنْ غَيْرِ رَأْفَةٍ كَمَا أَمَرَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى. 21 وَهَاجَمَ يَشُوعُ الْعَنَاقِيِّينَ أَيْضاً وَأَبَادَهُمْ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ فِي حَبْرُونَ وَمِنْ دَبِيرَ وَمِنْ عَنَابَ وَمِنْ سَائِرِ جَبَلِ يَهُوذَا وَمِنْ جِبَالِ إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَقَضَى عَلَيْهِمْ وَدَمَّرَ مُدُنَهُمْ. 22 فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فِي أَرْضِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ سِوَى قِلَّةٍ لَجَأَتْ إِلَى غَزَّةَ وَجَتَّ وَأَشْدُودَ، 23 فَاسْتَوْلَى يَشُوعُ عَلَى كُلِّ الأَرْضِ كَمَا وَعَدَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى، وَوَهَبَهَا يَشُوعُ مِيرَاثاً لإِسْرَائِيلَ وَفْقاً لِطَوَائِفِهِمْ وَأَسْبَاطِهِمْ. وَأَخِيراً اسْتَرَاحَتِ الأَرْضُ مِنَ الْحَرْبِ.
