被擊敗的諸王
12 以色列人在約旦河東岸殺死了兩個王，佔據了他們的領土：自亞嫩谷直到黑門山，包括東面的整個亞拉巴。 2 這兩個王一個是住在希實本的亞摩利王西宏。他統轄的地區從亞嫩谷旁的亞羅珥，包括山谷中部和基列的一半，直到亞捫人邊境的雅博河。 3 他的領土還包括約旦河谷東部：從加利利海至亞拉巴海，也就是鹽海，到伯·耶西末，直到毗斯迦的山麓。 4 另一個王是巴珊王噩，他原是利乏音的遺民，住在亞斯她錄和以得來。 5 他所統轄的地區包括黑門山、撒迦、整個巴珊，直到基述人和瑪迦人的邊境，還包括基列的另一半，直到希實本王西宏的國界。 6 耶和華的僕人摩西帶領以色列人征服了這兩個王，摩西把他們的土地分給呂便支派、迦得支派和瑪拿西半個支派的人作產業。 7 約書亞帶領以色列人征服了約旦河西的諸王，佔領的土地包括從黎巴嫩谷地的巴力·迦得直到西珥的哈拉山。約書亞按以色列的支派把這些土地分給以色列人。 8 那裡有山區、丘陵、河谷、山坡、曠野和南地，就是赫人、亞摩利人、迦南人、比利洗人、希未人、耶布斯人住的地方。 9 這些王是耶利哥王、伯特利附近的艾王、 10 耶路撒冷王、希伯崙王、 11 耶末王、拉吉王、 12 伊磯倫王、基色王、 13 底璧王、基德王、 14 何珥瑪王、亞拉得王、 15 立拿王、亞杜蘭王、 16 瑪基大王、伯特利王、 17 他普亞王、希弗王、 18 亞弗王、拉沙崙王、 19 瑪頓王、夏瑣王、 20 伸崙·米崙王、押煞王、 21 他納王、米吉多王、 22 基低斯王、迦密附近的約念王、 23 多珥山上的多珥王、吉甲的戈印王、 24 得撒王，共三十一個王。

Chapter 12[a]
Lists of Conquered Kings. 1 These are the kings of the land whom the Israelites conquered and whose lands they occupied, east of the Jordan, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon, including all the eastern section of the Arabah: 2 (A)First, Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon. His domain extended from Aroer, which is on the bank of the Wadi Arnon, to include the wadi itself, and the land northward through half of Gilead to the Wadi Jabbok at the border with the Ammonites, 3 as well as the Arabah from the eastern side of the Sea of Chinnereth, as far south as the eastern side of the Salt Sea of the Arabah in the direction of Beth-jeshimoth,(B) southward under the slopes of Pisgah. 4 Secondly, the border of Og, king of Bashan, a survivor of the Rephaim, who lived at Ashtaroth and Edrei.(C) 5 He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah, and all Bashan as far as the boundary of the Geshurites and Maacathites, and over half of Gilead as far as the territory of Sihon, king of Heshbon. 6 It was Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the Israelites who conquered them; Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave possession of their land to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.(D)
7 This is a list of the kings of the land whom Joshua and the Israelites conquered west of the Jordan, from Baal-gad in the Lebanon valley to Mount Halak which rises toward Seir; Joshua apportioned their land and gave possession of it to the tribes of Israel; 8 it included the mountain regions and Shephelah, the Arabah, the slopes, the wilderness, and the Negeb, belonging to the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites: 9 The king of Jericho, one;(E) the king of Ai, which is near Bethel, one; 10 the king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one; 11 the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;(F) 12 the king of Eglon, one; the king of Gezer, one;(G) 13 the king of Debir, one; the king of Geder, one;(H) 14 the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one; 15 the king of Libnah, one; the king of Adullam, one;(I) 16 the king of Makkedah, one; the king of Bethel, one;(J) 17 the king of Tappuah, one; the king of Hepher, one;(K) 18 the king of Aphek, one; the king of Lasharon, one;(L) 19 the king of Madon, one; the king of Hazor, one;(M) 20 the king of Shimron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;(N) 21 the king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;(O) 22 the king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam, at Carmel, one;(P) 23 the king of Dor, in Naphath-dor, one; the king of Goyim at Gilgal, one;(Q) 24 and the king of Tirzah, one—thirty-one kings in all.

- 12:1–24 This chapter, inserted between the two principal parts of the book (chaps. 1–11 and 13–21), resembles the lists of conquered cities which are inscribed on monuments of Egyptian and Assyrian rulers. Perhaps this list was copied here from some such public Israelite record.
