Joshua 10:28-42

28Now JoshuaH3091 capturedH3920 MakkedahH4719 on that dayH3117, and struckH5221 it and its kingH4428 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; 1he 2utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 3it and everyH3605 4personH5315 whoH834 was in it. He leftH7604 noH3808 survivorH8300. Thus he didH6213 to the kingH4428 of MakkedahH4719 5justH3512 as he had doneH6213 to the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.

29Then JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him passedH5674 on from MakkedahH4719 to 6LibnahH3841, and foughtH3898 againstH5973 LibnahH3841. 30The LordH3068 gaveH5414 it alsoH1571 with its kingH4428 into the handsH3027 of IsraelH3478, and he struckH5221 it and everyH3605 personH5315 whoH834 was in it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. He leftH7604 noH3808 survivorH8300 in it. Thus he didH6213 to its kingH4428 justH3512 as he had doneH6213 to the kingH4428 of JerichoH3405.

31And JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him passedH5674 on from LibnahH3841 to LachishH3923, and they campedH2583 by it and foughtH3898 against it. 32The LordH3068 gaveH5414 LachishH3923 into the handsH3027 of IsraelH3478; and he capturedH3920 it on the secondH8145 dayH3117, and struckH5221 it and everyH3605 personH5315 whoH834 was in it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, according to allH3605 that he had doneH6213 to LibnahH3841.

33ThenH227 HoramH2036 kingH4428 of 7GezerH1507 cameH5927 up to helpH5826 LachishH3923, and JoshuaH3091 8defeatedH5221 him and his peopleH5971 untilH5704 he had leftH7604 him noH1115 survivorH8300.

34And JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him passedH5674 on from LachishH3923 to EglonH5700, and they campedH2583 by it and foughtH3898 againstH5921 it. 35They capturedH3920 it on that dayH3117 and struckH5221 it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and he 9utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 that dayH3117 everyH3605 personH5315 whoH834 was in it, according to allH3605 that he had doneH6213 to LachishH3923.

36Then JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him wentH5927 up from EglonH5700 to 10HebronH2275, and they foughtH3898 againstH5921 it. 37They capturedH3920 it and struckH5221 it and its kingH4428 and allH3605 its citiesH5892 and allH3605 the personsH5315 whoH834 were in it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719. He leftH7604 noH3808 survivorH8300, according to allH3605 that he had doneH6213 to EglonH5700. And he 11utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 it and everyH3605 personH5315 whoH834 was in it.

38Then JoshuaH3091 and allH3605 IsraelH3478 with him returnedH7725 to 12DebirH1688, and they foughtH3898 againstH5921 it. 39He capturedH3920 it and its kingH4428 and allH3605 its citiesH5892, and they struckH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and 13utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 everyH3605 personH5315 who was in it. He leftH7604 noH3808 survivorH8300. JustH3512 as he had doneH6213 to HebronH2275, soH3651 he didH6213 to DebirH1688 and its kingH4428, as he had also doneH6213 to LibnahH3841 and its kingH4428.

40Thus JoshuaH3091 struckH5221 allH3605 the landH776, 14the hillH2022 countryH2022 and the 15NegevH5045 and the lowlandH8219 and the slopesH794 and 16allH3605 their kingsH4428. He leftH7604 noH3808 survivorH8300, but 17he 18utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 allH3605 whoH5397 breathedH5397, justH3512 as the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, had commandedH6680. 41JoshuaH3091 struckH5221 them from Kadesh-barneaH6947 even as farH5704 as GazaH5804, and allH3605 the countryH776 of 19GoshenH1657 even as farH5704 as GibeonH1391. 42JoshuaH3091 capturedH3920 allH3605 theseH428 kingsH4428 and their landsH776 at oneH259 timeH6471, becauseH3588 20the LordH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, foughtH3898 for IsraelH3478.
