And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephothmaim, and unto the valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

Verse 8 is found in chapter 11 of Joshua. Jabin, king of Hazor, gathers a northern coalition much larger than the previous ones. God again commands Joshua not to fear and promises to deliver the enemies into his hands. The battle takes place near the waters of Merom, where Israel launches a surprise attack. The destruction of the horses and chariots reflects the instructions received and shows that Israel must not depend on the military technology of the great Canaanite powers to secure the territorial promise.

Und der HERR gab sie in die Hände Israels, und schlugen sie und jagten sie bis gen Groß-Sidon und bis an die warmen Wasser und bis an die Ebene Mizpa gegen Morgen und schlugen sie, bis daß niemand unter ihnen übrigblieb.
Y entregolos Jehová en manos de Israel, los cuales los hirieron y siguieron hasta Sidón la grande, y hasta las aguas calientes, y hasta el llano de Mizpa al oriente, hiriéndolos hasta que no les dejaron ninguno.
Jehová los entregó en manos de Israel, y los hirieron y persiguieron hasta Sidón la Grande, hasta Misrefot-maim y hasta el valle de Mizpa, al oriente. Los hirieron hasta no dejarles sobreviviente.
L'Eternel les livra entre les mains d'Israël; ils les battirent et les poursuivirent jusqu'à Sidon la grande, jusqu'à Misrephoth-Maïm, et jusqu'à la vallée de Mitspa vers l'orient; ils les battirent, sans en laisser échapper aucun.
E il Signore li diede nelle mani d’Israele; ed essi li percossero, e li perseguitarono fino a Sidon la gran città, e alle Acque calde, e fino alla valle di Mispa, verso Oriente; e li percossero in modo che non ne lasciarono alcuno in vita.
E o SENHOR os deu nas mãos de Israel; e eles os feriram, e os perseguiram até à grande Sidom, e até Misrefote-Maim, e até ao vale de Mizpá ao oriente; feriram até não lhes deixarem nenhum.
耶和華將他們交在 以色列 人手裏, 以色列 人就擊殺他們,追趕他們到 西頓 大城,到 米斯利弗‧瑪音 ,直到東邊 米斯巴 的山谷。 以色列 人擊殺他們,沒有留下一個倖存者。
