Wesley's Explanatory Notes - Joshua 11:6

And the LORD said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots with fire.Hough their horses — Cut their hamstrings that they may my be unfit for war.
