Joshua 11: Joshua Left Nothing Undone

Jabin king of Hazor gathers many kings with armies as many as the sand on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots, at the waters of Merom. Yahweh tells Joshua not to be afraid. Israel wins, and Joshua does as Yahweh said with the horses and chariots. Joshua takes the whole land and does all that Yahweh commanded Moses, leaving nothing undone. Then the land has rest from war.
