Joshua 11:16-23

16Thus Joshua took all that land: 1the hill country and all the 2Negev, all that land of Goshen, the lowland, 3the Arabah, the hill country of Israel and its lowland 17from 4Mount Halak, that rises toward Seir, even as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon 5at the foot of Mount Hermon. And he captured 6all 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 7the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle. 208For it was of the Lord to 9harden their hearts, to meet Israel in battle in order that he might 10utterly destroy them, that they might 11receive no mercy, but that he might destroy them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

21Then Joshua came at that time and cut off 12the 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 13Gath, and in 14Ashdod some remained. 23So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses, and 15Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. 16Thus the land had rest from war.
