Joshua 11:16-12:24

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶ So Joshua took all that land: ^(A)the hill country and all the ^[a]Negev, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, ^(B)the Arabah, the hill country of Israel and its lowland ¹⁷ from ^(C)Mount Halak, that rises toward Seir, even as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon ^[b]at the foot of Mount Hermon. And he captured ^(D)all their kings, and struck them and put them to death. ¹⁸ Joshua waged war a long time with all these kings. ¹⁹ There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except ^(E)the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle. ^20 (F)For it was of the Lord to ^[c]harden their hearts, to meet Israel in battle in order that he might ^(G)utterly destroy them, that they might ^[d]receive no mercy, but that he might destroy them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

²¹ Then Joshua came at that time and eliminated ^(H)the 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. ²² There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, ^(I)Gath, and ^(J)Ashdod some remained. ²³ So Joshua took the whole land, in accordance with everything that the Lord had spoken to Moses; and ^(K)Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. ^(L)So the land was at rest from war.

Kings Defeated by Israel

12 Now these are the ^(M)kings of the land whom the sons of Israel ^[e]defeated, and they took possession of their land beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, from the Valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east: ² Sihon king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon and ruled ^(N)from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, both the middle of the valley and half of Gilead, even as far as the brook Jabbok, the border of the sons of Ammon; ³ and the ^(O)Arabah as far as the Sea of ^[f]Chinneroth toward the east, and as far as the Sea of the Arabah, that is, the Salt Sea, eastward ^[g]toward ^(P)Beth-jeshimoth, and on the south, ^[h]at the foot of the slopes of Pisgah; ⁴ and the territory of Og king of Bashan, one of ^(Q)the remnant of Rephaim, who lived at ^(R)Ashtaroth and at Edrei, ⁵ and ruled over Mount Hermon, ^(S)Salecah, and all Bashan, as far as ^(T)the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half of Gilead, as far as the border of Sihon king of Heshbon. ⁶ Moses the servant of the Lord and the sons of Israel ^[i]defeated them; and ^(U)Moses the servant of the Lord gave it to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh as a possession.

⁷ Now these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the sons of Israel ^[j]defeated beyond the Jordan toward the west, from Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon even as far as ^(V)Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir; and Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions, ⁸ in ^(W)the hill country, in the lowland, in the Arabah, on the slopes, in the wilderness, and in the ^[k]Negev; the Hittite, the Amorite and the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite: ⁹ the ^(X)king of Jericho, one; the ^(Y)king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one; ¹⁰ the ^(Z)king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; ¹¹ the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one; ¹² the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one; ¹³ the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one; ¹⁴ the king of Hormah, one; the king of ^(AA)Arad, one; ¹⁵ the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one; ¹⁶ the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one; ¹⁷ the king of Tappuah, one; the ^(AB)king of Hepher, one; ¹⁸ the king of ^(AC)Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one; ¹⁹ the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one; ²⁰ the king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one; ²¹ the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one; ²² the king of ^(AD)Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one; ²³ the king of Dor in the ^[l]heights of Dor, one; the king of ^(AE)Goiim in Gilgal, one; ²⁴ the king of Tirzah, one: ^(AF)in all, thirty-one kings.
