Context of Joshua 11:15
13Israel did not burn cities built on mounds. However, Joshua made an exception and burned Hazor. 14The people of Israel took all the loot and livestock from these cities. But they put everyone to death until they were all destroyed. Not one person survived. So Joshua carried out what the Lord had commanded his servant Moses and what Moses had commanded him. He did not leave out anything the Lord had commanded Moses. 16Joshua took all this land, the mountains, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the foothills, the plains, and the mountains and foothills of Israel. 17The land extended from Mount Halak which ascends to Seir as far as Baal Gad in the Lebanon Valley at the foot of Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and killed them.
