Joshua 11:11-23

111They struckH5221 everyH3605 personH5315 whoH834 was in it with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, 2utterlyH2763 destroyingH2763 them; there was noH3808H3605 one leftH3498 whoH5397 breathedH5397. And he burnedH8313 HazorH2674 with fireH784. 12JoshuaH3091 capturedH3920 allH3605 the citiesH5892 of theseH428 kingsH4428, and allH3605 their kingsH4428, and he struckH5221 them with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, and utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 them; justH3512 3as MosesH4872 the servantH5650 of the LordH3068 had commandedH6680. 13HoweverH7534, IsraelH3478 did not burnH8313 anyH3605 citiesH5892 that stoodH5975 on their moundsH8510, exceptH2108 HazorH2674 aloneH905, which JoshuaH3091 burnedH8313. 144AllH3605 the spoilH7998 of theseH428 citiesH5892 and the cattleH929, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 tookH962 as their plunderH962; but they struckH5221 everyH3605 manH120 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719, untilH5704 they had destroyedH8045 them. They leftH7604 noH3808 oneH3605 whoH5397 breathedH5397. 15JustH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 his servantH5650, soH3651 MosesH4872 commandedH6680 JoshuaH3091, and soH3651 JoshuaH3091 didH6213; he leftH5493 nothingH3808H1697 undoneH5493H3808 of allH3605 that the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.

16Thus JoshuaH3091 tookH3947 allH3605 that landH776: 5the hillH2022 countryH2022 and allH3605 the 6NegevH5045, allH3605 that landH776 of GoshenH1657, the lowlandH8219, 7the ArabahH6160, the hillH2022 countryH2022 of IsraelH3478 and its lowlandH8219 17from 8MountH2022 HalakH2510, that risesH5927 toward SeirH8165, even as farH5704 as Baal-gadH1171 in the valleyH1237 of LebanonH3844 9at the footH8478 of MountH2022 HermonH2768. And he capturedH3920 10allH3605 their kingsH4428 and struckH5221 them downH5221 and putH4191 them to deathH4191. 18JoshuaH3091 wagedH6213 warH4421 a longH7227 timeH3117 with allH3605 theseH428 kingsH4428. 19There was not a cityH5892 whichH834 madeH7999 peaceH7999 with the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 exceptH1115 11the HivitesH2340 livingH3427 in GibeonH1391; they tookH3947 them allH3605 in battleH4421. 2012For it was of the LordH3068 to 13hardenH2388 their heartsH3820, to meetH7122 IsraelH3478 in battleH4421 in orderH4616 that he might 14utterlyH2763 destroyH2763 them, that they might 15receiveH1961 noH1115 mercyH8467, but that he might destroyH8045 them, justH3512 as the LordH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872.

21Then JoshuaH3091 cameH935 at that timeH6256 and cutH3772 offH3772 16the AnakimH6062 from the hillH2022 countryH2022, from HebronH2275, from DebirH1688, from AnabH6024 and from allH3605 the hillH2022 countryH2022 of JudahH3063 and from allH3605 the hillH2022 countryH2022 of IsraelH3478. JoshuaH3091 utterlyH2763 destroyedH2763 them with their citiesH5892. 22There were noH3808 AnakimH6062 leftH3498 in the landH776 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478; onlyH7534 in GazaH5804, in 17GathH1661, and in 18AshdodH795 some remainedH7604. 23So JoshuaH3091 tookH3947 the wholeH3605 landH776, according to allH3605 that the LordH3068 had spokenH1696 to MosesH4872, and 19JoshuaH3091 gaveH5414 it for an inheritanceH5159 to IsraelH3478 according to their divisionsH4256 by their tribesH7626. 20Thus the landH776 hadH8252 restH8252 from warH4421.
