Joshua 10:28-35

28That same day Joshua captured Makkedah, and the Israelites killed its people and king with swords. He claimed them for the Lord by destroying them. There were no survivors. He did the same thing to the king of Makkedah that he had done to the king of Jericho.

29Joshua and all Israel marched from Makkedah to Libnah and attacked it.

30The Lord also handed Libnah and its king over to Israel. He killed all the people. There were no survivors. He did the same thing to the king of Libnah that he had done to the king of Jericho.

31Joshua and all Israel marched from Libnah to Lachish, camped there, and attacked it.

32The Lord handed Lachish over to Israel. He captured it on the next day and killed all the people, the same way he had captured Libnah.

33At that time King Horam of Gezer had come to help Lachish. But Joshua killed him and his troops. There were no survivors.

34Joshua and all Israel marched from Lachish to Eglon, camped there, and attacked it.

35They captured it that day and killed everyone in it. He claimed it for the Lord by destroying it the same way he had destroyed Lachish.
