4. And they went out, they and all their armies with them, many people, even as the sand that is upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5. And when all these kings were met together, they came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6. And the LORD said unto Joshua,
7. So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
8. And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who struck them, and chased them unto great Sidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpah eastward; and they struck them, until they left none remaining.
9. And Joshua did unto them as the LORD bade him: he hamstrung their horses, and burned their chariots with fire.
