Joshua 11:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 Joshua and his army made a surprise attack against the enemy camp at Merom Pond[a] 8-9 and crippled the enemies' horses.[b] Joshua followed the Lord's instructions, and the Lord helped Israel defeat the enemy. The Israelite army even chased enemy soldiers as far as Misrephoth-Maim to the northwest,[c] the city of Sidon to the north, and Mizpeh Valley to the northeast.[d] None of the enemy soldiers escaped alive. The Israelites came back after the battle and burned the enemy's chariots.
