1Now when Jabin king of Hazor heard about these things, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon; to the kings of Shimron and Achshaph;
2to the kings of the north in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Chinnereth, in the foothills, and in Naphoth-dor to the west;
“and to the kings that were on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Jinaroth, and in the valley, and in the borders of Dor in the west.”
3to the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites at the foot of Hermon in the land of Mizpah.

9Joshua treated them as the LORD had told him; he hamstrung their horses and burned up their chariots.
“And verse 9, Joshua did unto them as the Lord bade him, he hocked their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.”
10At that time Joshua turned back and captured Hazor and put its king to the sword, because Hazor was formerly the head of all these kingdoms.
“And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof, with the sword, for Hazor before time was the head of all these kingdoms.”
11The Israelites put everyone in Hazor to the sword, devoting them to destruction. Nothing that breathed remained, and Joshua burned down Hazor itself.

15As the LORD had commanded His servant Moses, so Moses commanded Joshua. That is what Joshua did, leaving nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
“the Lord commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord commanded Moses.”
“just as the Lord had commanded Moses, His servants of Moses commanded Joshua. And so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.”
16So Joshua took this entire region: the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the western foothills, the Arabah, and the mountains of Israel and their foothills,
“Joshua took all that land the hills and all the south country and all the land of Goshen and the valley and the plain and the mountain of Israel and the valley of the same.”

20For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts to engage Israel in battle, so that they would be set apart for destruction and would receive no mercy, being annihilated as the LORD had commanded Moses.
“For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts. That they should come against Israel in battle. That he might destroy them utterly. That they might have no favor. That he might destroy them as the Lord commanded Moses.”
21At that time Joshua proceeded to eliminate the Anakim from the hill country of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and of Israel. Joshua devoted them to destruction, along with their cities.
“Then Joshua came at that time and cut off from Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Derbe, from Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with…”
22No Anakim were left in the land of the Israelites; only in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod did any survive.
“There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel only in Gaza in Gath and in a Ashdod did some remain.”
“There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel. Only in Gaza, in Gath and in Ashdod, some remained.”
“There was none of the Anakims left in the land of the children of Israel. Only in Gaza in Gath and in Ashdod”
23So Joshua took the entire land, in keeping with all that the LORD had spoken to Moses. And Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to the allotments to their tribes. Then the land had rest from war.
“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 divisions by their tribes. Thus the land had rest from war.”
“Joshua took the whole land according to all that the Lord said unto Moses. Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes, and the land rested from war.”
“So Joshua took the whole land according to all that the Lord said unto Moses. And Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribe. And the land rested.”
“So Joshua took the whole land according to all the Lord sent unto Moses and Joshua. Gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes and the land rested from war.”
