Context: Misrephoth-Majim is a location mentioned in the Bible in the context of Joshua's military campaigns.

The exact location of Misrephoth-Majim is not definitively known, but it is generally thought to be in the region of the northern part of ancient Canaan, possibly near the coast. The name suggests a place associated with water and possibly thermal activity or salt production, given the meaning "burning of waters."

They struck them down until no survivor was left."
