Joshua 11:18-23

18Joshua waged war a long time with all these kings. 19There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except 1the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle. 202For it was of the Lord to 3harden their hearts, to meet Israel in battle in order that he might 4utterly destroy them, that they might 5receive no mercy, but that he might destroy them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

21Then Joshua came at that time and eliminated 6the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and 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, 7Gath, and 8Ashdod some remained. 23So Joshua took the whole land, in accordance with everything that the Lord had spoken to Moses; and 9Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. 10So the land was at rest from war.
