Joshua 10:23-40
23And they did soH3651, and broughtH3318 forthH3318 those fiveH2568 kingsH4428 unto him out of the caveH4631, the kingH4428 of JerusalemH3389, the kingH4428 of HebronH2275, the kingH4428 of JarmuthH3412, the kingH4428 of LachishH3923, the kingH4428 of EglonH5700. 24And it came to pass, when they broughtH3318 forthH3318 those kingsH4428 unto JoshuaH3091, that JoshuaH3091 calledH7121 for all the menH376 of IsraelH3478, and saidH559 unto the chiefs of the menH376 of warH4421 that wentH1980 with him, ComeH1980 near, putH7760 your feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of these kingsH4428. And they came near, and putH7760 their feetH7272 upon the necksH6677 of them. 25And JoshuaH3091 saidH559 unto them, FearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; be strongH2388 and of good courage: for thusH3602 shall Jehovah do to all your enemiesH341 against whom ye fightH3898. 26And afterward JoshuaH3091 smote them, and putH4191 them to deathH4191, and hangedH8518 them on fiveH2568 treesH6086: and they wereH1961 hangingH8518 upon the treesH6086 until the eveningH6153. 27And it cameH935 to pass at the timeH6256 of the goingH935 downH3381 of the sunH8121, that JoshuaH3091 commandedH6680, and they took them downH3381 off the treesH6086, and castH7993 them into the caveH4631 wherein they had hiddenH2244 themselves, and laid greatH1419 stonesH68 on the mouthH6310 of the caveH4631, unto this very dayH3117.
28And JoshuaH3091 tookH3920 MakkedahH4719 on that dayH3117, and smote it with the edge of the swordH2719, and the kingH4428 thereof: he utterly destroyed them and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH7604; and he did to the kingH4428 of MakkedahH4719 as he had done unto the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
29And JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 from MakkedahH4719, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto LibnahH3841, and foughtH3898 against LibnahH3841: 30and Jehovah delivered it alsoH1571, and the kingH4428 thereof, into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478; and he smote it with the edge of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH7604 in it; and he did unto the kingH4428 thereof as he had done unto the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.
31And JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 from LibnahH3841, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto LachishH3923, and encampedH2583 against it, and foughtH3898 against it: 32and Jehovah delivered LachishH3923 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478; and he tookH3920 it on the secondH8145 dayH3117, and smote it with the edge of the swordH2719, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein, according to all that he had done to LibnahH3841.
33ThenH227 Horam kingH4428 of GezerH1507 cameH5927 up to helpH5826 LachishH3923; and JoshuaH3091 smote him and his peopleH5971, until he had leftH7604 him none remainingH7604.
34And JoshuaH3091 passedH5674 from LachishH3923, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto EglonH5700; and they encampedH2583 against it, and foughtH3898 against it; 35and they tookH3920 it on that dayH3117, and smote it with the edge of the swordH2719; and all the soulsH5315 that were therein he utterly destroyed that dayH3117, according to all that he had done to LachishH3923.
36And JoshuaH3091 wentH5927 up from EglonH5700, and all IsraelH3478 with him, unto HebronH2275; and they foughtH3898 against it: 37and they tookH3920 it, and smote it with the edge of the swordH2719, and the kingH4428 thereof, and all the citiesH5892 thereof, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH7604, according to all that he had done to EglonH5700; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the soulsH5315 that were therein.
38And JoshuaH3091 returnedH7725, and all IsraelH3478 with him, to DebirH1688, and foughtH3898 against it: 39and he tookH3920 it, and the kingH4428 thereof, and all the citiesH5892 thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the swordH2719, and utterly destroyed all the soulsH5315 that were therein; he leftH7604 none remainingH7604: as he had done to HebronH2275, so he did to DebirH1688, and to the kingH4428 thereof; as he had done also to LibnahH3841, and to the kingH4428 thereof.
40So JoshuaH3091 smote all the landH776, the hill-country, and the SouthH5045, and the lowland, and the slopes, and all their kingsH4428: he leftH7604 none remainingH7604, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, commandedH6680.
