Joshua 10:28-40

28

On thatH1931 dayH3117 JoshuaH3091 capturedH3920 MakkedahH4719 and put itH5221H6310 to the swordH2719, along withH853 its kingH4428. He devoted to destructionH2763 everyoneH853H3605H5315 in the city, leavingH7604 noH3808 survivorsH8300. So he didH6213 to the kingH4428 of MakkedahH4719 asH834 he had doneH6213 to the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.

29Then JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973 moved onH5674 from MakkedahH4719 to LibnahH3841 and foughtH3898 againstH5973 LibnahH3841. 30And the LORDH3068 alsoH1571 deliveredH5414 that city and its kingH4428 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, andH853 Joshua putH5221H6310 allH3605 the peopleH5315 to the swordH2719, leavingH7604 noH3808 survivorsH8300. And he didH6213 to the kingH4428 of Libnah asH834 he had doneH6213 to the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.

31And JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973 moved onH5674 from LibnahH3841 to LachishH3923. They laid siegeH2583 to itH5921 and foughtH3898 against it. 32And the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 LachishH3923 into the handH3027 of IsraelH3478, and Joshua capturedH3920 it on the secondH8145 dayH3117. He putH5221H6310 allH3605 the peopleH5315 to the swordH2719, just asH3605 he had doneH6213 to LibnahH3841.

33At that timeH227 HoramH2036 kingH4428 of GezerH1507 wentH5927 to helpH5826 LachishH3923, but JoshuaH3091 struck him downH5221 along with his peopleH5971H5704, leavingH7604 noH1115 survivorsH8300.

34So JoshuaH3091 moved onH5674 from LachishH3923 to EglonH5700, and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973. They laid siegeH2583 to itH5921 and foughtH3898 against itH5921. 35ThatH1931 dayH3117 they capturedH3920 Eglon and put itH5221H6310 to the swordH2719, andH853 Joshua devoted to destructionH2763 everyoneH3605H5315 in the city, just asH3605 he had doneH6213 to LachishH3923.

36Then JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973 went upH5927 from EglonH5700 to HebronH2275 and foughtH3898 against itH5921. 37They captured itH3920 and putH5221H6310 to the swordH2719 its kingH4428, allH3605 its villagesH5892, andH853 allH3605 the peopleH5315. Joshua leftH7604 noH3808 survivorsH8300, just asH3605 he had doneH6213 at EglonH5700; he devoted to destructionH2763 Hebron andH853 everyoneH3605H5315 in it.

38Finally JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with himH5973 turnedH7725 toward DebirH1688 and foughtH3898 against itH5921. 39And they capturedH3920 Debir, its kingH4428, andH853 allH3605 its villagesH5892. They put themH5221H6310 to the swordH2719 and devoted to destructionH2763 everyoneH3605H5315 in the city, leavingH7604 noH3808 survivorsH8300. Joshua did toH6213 DebirH1688 and its kingH4428 asH834 he had doneH6213 to HebronH2275 and asH3651 he had doneH6213 to LibnahH3841 and its kingH4428.

40So JoshuaH3091 conqueredH5221 the wholeH3605 regionH776—the hill countryH2022, the NegevH5045, the foothillsH8219,1 and the slopesH794, together withH853 allH3605 their kingsH4428—leavingH7604 noH3808 survivorsH8300. He devoted to destructionH2763 everythingH3605 that breathedH5397, just asH834 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, had commandedH6680.
