Yosua 11:7-8

11:7 Joshua and his whole army caught them by surprise at the Waters of Merom and attacked them. ¹  11:8 The Lord handed them over to Israel and they struck them down and chased them all the way to Greater Sidon, ²  Misrephoth Maim, ³  and the Mizpah Valley to the east. They struck them down until no survivors remained.

¹ tn Heb “Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them at the Waters of Merom suddenly and fell upon them.”

³ tn The meaning of the Hebrew name “Misrephoth Maim” is perhaps “lime-kilns by the water” (see HALOT 2:641).
