These kings came out with their armies; they were as numerous as the sand on the seashore and had a large number of horses and chariots.

Joshua did to them as the Lord had commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.

The Lord told Joshua, “Don’t be afraid of them, for about this time tomorrow I will cause all of them to lie dead before Israel. You must hamstring their horses and burn their chariots.”
