Joshua 10:29-43

29Then Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Makkedah to 1Libnah, and fought against Libnah. 30And the Lord also handed it over to Israel, with its king, and he struck it and every person who was in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor in it. So he did to its king just as he had done to the king of Jericho.

31And Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Libnah to Lachish, and they camped by it and fought against it. 32And the Lord handed Lachish over to Israel; and he captured it on the second day, and struck it and every person who was in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

33Then Horam king of 2Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua 3defeated him and his people until he had left him no survivor.

34And Joshua and all Israel with him passed on from Lachish to Eglon, and they camped by it and fought against it. 35They captured it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; and he 4utterly destroyed on that day every person who was in it, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

36Then Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to 5Hebron, and they fought against it. 37And they captured it and struck it and its king and all its cities and all the persons who were in it with the edge of the sword. He left no survivor, according to all that he had done to Eglon. And he 6utterly destroyed it and every person who was in it.

38Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to 7Debir, and they fought against it. 39He captured it and its king and all its cities, and they struck them with the edge of the sword, and 8utterly destroyed every person who was in it. He left no survivor. Just as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had also done to Libnah and its king.

40So Joshua struck all the land, 9the hill country and the 10Negev and the lowland and the slopes, and 11all their kings. He left no survivor, but 12he 13utterly destroyed all who breathed, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded. 41Joshua struck them from Kadesh-barnea even as far as Gaza, and all the country of 14Goshen even as far as Gibeon. 42Joshua captured all these kings and their lands at one time, because 15the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel. 43So Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp 16at Gilgal.
