Joshua 11:10-23
10Then Joshua turned back at that time, and captured 1Hazor and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor formerly was the head of all these kingdoms. 112They struck every person who was in it with the edge of the sword, 3utterly destroying them; there was no one left who breathed. And he burned Hazor with fire. 12Joshua captured all the cities of these kings, and all their kings, and he struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed them; just 4as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded. 13However, Israel did not burn any cities that stood on their mounds, except Hazor alone, which Joshua burned. 145All the spoil of these cities and the cattle, the sons of Israel took as their plunder; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them. They left no one who breathed. 15Just as the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so Moses commanded Joshua, and so Joshua did; he left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
16Thus Joshua took all that land: 6the hill country and all the 7Negev, all that land of Goshen, the lowland, 8the Arabah, the hill country of Israel and its lowland 17from 9Mount Halak, that rises toward Seir, even as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon 10at the foot of Mount Hermon. And he captured 11all their kings and struck them down and put them to death. 18Joshua waged war a long time with all these kings. 19There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except 12the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle. 2013For it was of the Lord to 14harden their hearts, to meet Israel in battle in order that he might 15utterly destroy them, that they might 16receive no mercy, but that he might destroy them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
21Then Joshua came at that time and cut off 17the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab and from all the hill country of Judah and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities. 22There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in 18Gath, and in 19Ashdod some remained. 23So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses, and 20Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. 21Thus the land had rest from war.
