⁷ So Joshua’s army came upon them suddenly where they camped beside the waters of Merom and attacked them, ⁸ and the Eternal delivered this vast army to Israel. They pursued the retreating soldiers as far as Great Sidon and Misrephoth-maim, and to the east as far as the valley of Mizpeh until no one was left to fight. ⁹ And Joshua cut the hamstrings of all their horses and burned all the chariots, as the Eternal had commanded.
