Joshua 10:28-35

28That day Joshua captured Makkedah and put the sword to it and its king. He annihilated everyone who lived in it; he left no survivors. He did to its king what he had done to the king of Jericho.

29Joshua and all Israel marched from Makkedah to Libnah and fought against it.

30The Lord handed it and its king over to Israel, and Israel put the sword to all who lived there; they left no survivors. They did to its king what they had done to the king of Jericho.

31Joshua and all Israel marched from Libnah to Lachish. He deployed his troops and fought against it.

32The Lord handed Lachish over to Israel and they captured it on the second day. They put the sword to all who lived there, just as they had done to Libnah.

33Then King Horam of Gezer came up to help Lachish, but Joshua struck down him and his army until no survivors remained.

34Joshua and all Israel marched from Lachish to Eglon. They deployed troops and fought against it.

35That day they captured it and put the sword to all who lived there. That day they annihilated it just as they had done to Lachish.
