THEN spoke Yahusha this song, on the day that Yahuah had given the Emoriym into the hand of Yahusha and the children of Yashar'el, and he said in the sight of all Yashar'el,
You have done mighty things, O Yahuah, you have performed great deeds; who is like unto you? my lips shall sing to your name.
My goodness and my fortress, my high tower, I will sing a new song unto you, with thanksgiving will I sing to you, you are the strength of my yeshu`ah.
All the kings of the earth shall praise you, the princes of the world shall sing to you, the children of Yashar'el shall rejoice in your yeshu`ah, they shall sing and praise your power.
To you, O Yahuah, did we confide; we said you are our Elohiym, for you were our shelter and strong tower against our enemies.
To you we cried and were not ashamed, in you we trusted and were delivered; when we cried unto you, you did hear our voice, you did deliver our souls from the sword, you did show unto us your grace, you did give unto us your yeshu`ah, you did rejoice our hearts with your strength.
You did go forth for our yeshu`ah, with your arm you did redeem your people; you did answer us from the heavens of your holiness, you did save us from ten thousands of people.
The sun and moon stood still in heaven, and you did stand in your wrath against our oppressors and did command your judgments over them.
All the princes of the earth stood up, the kings of the nations had gathered themselves together, they were not moved at your presence, they desired your battles.
You did rise against them in your anger, and did bring down your wrath upon them; you did destroy them in your anger, and cut them off in your heart.
Nations have been consumed with your fury, kingdoms have declined because of your wrath, you did wound kings in the day of your anger.
You did pour out your fury upon them, your wrathful anger took hold of them; you did turn their iniquity upon them, and did cut them off in their wickedness.
They did spread a trap, they fell therein, in the net they hid, their foot was caught.
Your hand was ready for all your enemies who said, Through their sword they possessed the land, through their arm they dwelt in the city; you did fill their faces with shame, you did bring their horns down to the ground, you did terrify them in your wrath, and did destroy them in your anger.
The earth trembled and shook at the sound of your storm over them, you did not withhold their souls from death, and did bring down their lives to She'ol.
You did pursue them in your storm, you did consume them in your whirlwind, you did turn their rain into hail, they fell in deep pits so that they could not rise.
Their carcasses were like rubbish cast out in the middle of the streets.
They were consumed and destroyed in your anger, you did save your people with your might.
Therefore our hearts rejoice in you, our souls exult in your yeshu`ah.
Our tongues shall relate your might, we will sing and praise your wondrous works.
For you did save us from our enemies, you did deliver us from those who rose up against us, you did destroy them from before us and depress them beneath our feet.
Thus shall all your enemies perish O Yahuah, and the wicked shall be like chaff driven by the wind, and your beloved shall be like trees planted by the waters.
So Yahusha and all Yashar'el with him returned to the camp in Gilgal, after having smitten all the kings, so that not a remnant was left of them.
And the five kings fled alone on foot from battle, and hid themselves in a cave, and Yahusha sought for them in the field of battle, and did not find them.
And it was afterward told to Yahusha, saying, The kings are found and behold they are hidden in a cave.
And Yahusha said, Appoint men to be at the mouth of the cave, to guard them, lest they take themselves away; and the children of Yashar'el did so.
And Yahusha called to all Yashar'el and said to the officers of battle, Place your feet upon the necks of these kings, and Yahusha said, So shall Yahuah do to all your enemies.
And Yahusha commanded afterward that they should slay the kings and cast them into the cave, and to put great stones at the mouth of the cave.
And Yahusha went afterward with all the people that were with him on that day to Maqqedah, and he smote it with the edge of the sword.
And he utterly destroyed the souls and all belonging to the city, and he did to the king and people thereof as he had done to Yeriycho.
And he passed from there to Livnah and he fought against it, and Yahuah delivered it into his hand, and Yahusha smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls thereof, and he did to it and to the king thereof as he had done to Yeriycho.
And from there he passed on to Lakiysh to fight against it, and Horam king of Gaza went up to assist the men of Lakiysh, and Yahusha smote him and his people until there was none left to him.
And Yahusha took Lakiysh and all the people thereof, and he did to it as he had done to Livnah.
And Yahusha passed from there to Eglon, and he took that also, and he smote it and all the people thereof with the edge of the sword.
And from there he passed to Chevron and fought against it and took it and utterly destroyed it, and he returned from there with all Yashar'el to Deviyr and fought against it and smote it with the edge of the sword.
And he destroyed every soul in it, he left none remaining, and he did to it and the king thereof as he had done to Yeriycho.
And Yahusha smote all the kings of the Emoriym from Qadesh Barnea to Gaza, and he took their country at once, for Yahuah had fought for Yashar'el.
And Yahusha with all Yashar'el came to the camp to Gilgal.
When at that time Yaviyn king of Chatsor heard all that Yahusha had done to the kings of the Emoriym, Yaviyn sent to Yovat king of Midyan, and to Lavan king of Shimron, to Yephal king of Akshaph, and to all the kings of the Emoriym, saying,
Come quickly to us and help us, that we may smite the children of Yashar'el, before they come upon us and do unto us as they have done to the other kings of the Emoriym.
And all these kings hearkened to the words of Yaviyn, king of Chatsor, and they went forth with all their camps, seventeen kings, and their people were as numerous as the sand on the sea shore, together with horses and chariots innumerable, and they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, and they were met together to fight against Yashar'el.
And Yahuah said to Yahusha, Fear them not, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver them up all slain before you, you shall hough their horses and burn their chariots with fire.
And Yahusha with all the men of war came suddenly upon them and smote them, and they fell into their hands, for Yahuah had delivered them into the hands of the children of Yashar'el.
So the children of Yashar'el pursued all these kings with their camps, and smote them until there was none left of them, and Yahusha did to them as Yahuah had spoken to him.
And Yahusha returned at that time to Chatsor and smote it with the sword and destroyed every soul in it and burned it with fire, and from Chatsor, Yahusha passed to Shimron and smote it and utterly destroyed it.
From there he passed to Akshaph and he did to it as he had done to Shimron.
From there he passed to Adullam and he smote all the people in it, and he did to Adullam as he had done to Akshaph and to Shimron.
And he passed from them to all the cities of the kings which he had smitten, and he smote all the people that were left of them and he utterly destroyed them.
Only their booty and cattle Yashar'el took to themselves as a prey, but every man smote, they suffered not a soul to live.
As Yahuah had commanded Mosheh so did Yahusha and all Yashar'el, they failed not in anything.
So Yahusha and all the children of Yashar'el smote the whole land of Kena`an as Yahuah had commanded them, and smote all their kings, being thirty and one kings, and the children of Yashar'el took their whole country.
Besides the kingdoms of Ciychon and Og which are on the other side of the Yardan, of which Mosheh had smitten many cities, and Mosheh gave them to the Re'uveniym and the Gadiym and to half the tribe of Menashsheh.
And Yahusha smote all the kings that were on this side of the Yardan to the west, and gave them for an inheritance to the nine tribes and to the half tribe of Yashar'el.
For five years did Yahusha carry on the war with these kings, and he gave their cities to Yashar'el, and the land became tranquil from battle throughout the cities of the Emoriym and the Kena`aniym.
