Joshua 11:10-23

Joshua 11:10-23

[10] And Joshua  at that time  turned back,  and took  Hazor,  and smote  the king  thereof with the sword:  for Hazor  beforetime  was the head  of all those kingdoms.  [11] And they smote  all the souls  that were therein with the edge  of the sword,  utterly destroying  them: there was not any left  to breathe:  and he burnt  Hazor  with fire.  [12] And all the cities  of those kings,  of them, did Joshua  take,  and smote  them with the edge  of the sword,  and he utterly destroyed  them, as Moses  the servant  of the LORD  commanded.  [13] But as for the cities  that stood  still in their strength,  Israel  burned  none of them, save  Hazor  only; that did Joshua  burn.  [14] And all the spoil  of these cities,  and the cattle,  the children  of Israel  took for a prey  unto themselves; but every man  they smote  with the edge  of the sword,  until they had destroyed  them, neither left  [15] As the LORD  commanded  Moses  his servant,  so did Moses  command  Joshua,  and so did  Joshua;  nothing  undone  of all that the LORD  commanded  Moses.  [16] So Joshua  took  all that land,  the hills,  and all the south country,  and all the land  of Goshen,  and the valley,  and the plain,  and the mountain  of Israel,  and the valley  [17] Even from the mount  Halak,  that goeth up  to Seir,  even unto Baalgad  in the valley  of Lebanon  under mount  Hermon:  and all their kings  he took,  and smote  them, and slew  them. [18] Joshua  made  war  a long  time  with all those kings.  [19] There was not a city  that made peace  with the children  of Israel,  save the Hivites  the inhabitants  of Gibeon:  all other they took  in battle.  [20] For it was of the LORD  to harden  their hearts,  that they should come against  Israel  in battle,  that he might destroy them utterly,  and that they might have no favour,  but that he might destroy  them, as the LORD  commanded  Moses.  [21] And at that time  came  Joshua,  and cut off  the Anakims  from the mountains,  from Hebron,  from Debir,  from Anab,  and from all the mountains  of Judah,  and from all the mountains  of Israel:  Joshua  destroyed them utterly  with their cities.  [22] There was none of the Anakims  left  in the land  of the children  of Israel:  only in Gaza,  in Gath,  and in Ashdod,  there remained.  [23] So Joshua  took  the whole land,  according to all that the LORD  said  unto Moses;  and Joshua  gave  it for an inheritance  unto Israel  according to their divisions  by their tribes.  And the land  rested  from war.
