011:011 They struck all the souls who were therein with the edge of the sword,
utterly destroying them; there was none left who breathed:
and he burnt Hazor with fire.
011:012 All the cities of those kings, and all the kings of them,
did Joshua take, and he struck them with the edge of
the sword, and utterly destroyed them; as Moses the servant
of Yahweh commanded.
011:013 But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned
none of them, save Hazor only; that did Joshua burn.
011:014 All the spoil of these cities, and the livestock, the children
of Israel took for a prey to themselves; but every man they
struck with the edge of the sword, until they had destroyed them,
neither left they any who breathed.
011:015 As Yahweh commanded Moses his servant, so did Moses command Joshua:
and so did Joshua; he left nothing undone of all that
Yahweh commanded Moses.
011:016 So Joshua took all that land, the hill country, and all the South,
and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland, and the Arabah,
and the hill country of Israel, and the lowland of the same;
011:017 from Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir, even to Baal Gad
in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their
kings he took, and struck them, and put them to death.
011:018 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
011:019 There was not a city that made peace with the children
of Israel, save the Hivites the inhabitants of Gibeon:
they took all in battle.
011:020 For it was of Yahweh to harden their hearts, to come against
Israel in battle, that he might utterly destroy them,
that they might have no favor, but that he might destroy them,
as Yahweh commanded Moses.
011:021 Joshua came at that time, and cut off the Anakim from the
hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from
all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country
of Israel: Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
011:022 There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the children
of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod,
did some remain.
011:023 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Yahweh
spoke to Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance
to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes.
The land had rest from war.
012:001 Now these are the kings of the land, whom the children of
Israel struck, and possessed their land beyond the Jordan toward
the sunrise, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon,
and all the Arabah eastward:
012:002 Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon, and ruled
from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon,
and [the city that is in] the middle of the valley, and half Gilead,
