The Kings Conquered by Joshua

⁷ And these are the kings of the country ^(A)which Joshua and the children of Israel conquered on this side of the Jordan, on the west, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon as far as ^[a]Mount Halak and the ascent to ^(B)Seir, which Joshua ^(C)gave to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,

^17 (A)from ^[a]Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, even as far as Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured ^(B)all their kings, and struck them down and killed them.

²³ So Joshua took the whole land, ^(A)according to all that the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel ^(B)according to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land ^(C)rested from war.

The Kings Conquered by Moses^(D)

12 These are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel defeated, and whose land they possessed on the other side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, ^(E)from the River Arnon ^(F)to Mount Hermon, and all the eastern Jordan plain:

Remaining Land to Be Conquered

13 Now Joshua ^(A)was old, advanced in years. And the Lord said to him: “You are old, advanced in years, and there remains very much land yet to be possessed. ^2 (B)This is the land that yet remains: ^(C)all the territory of the Philistines and all ^(D)that of the Geshurites, ^3 (E)from Sihor, which is east of Egypt, as far as the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the ^(F)five lords of the Philistines—the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also ^(G)the Avites; ⁴ from the south, all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah that belongs to the Sidonians ^(H)as far as Aphek, to the border of ^(I)the Amorites; ⁵ the land of ^(J)the ^[a]Gebalites, and all Lebanon, toward the sunrise, ^(K)from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon as far as the entrance to Hamath; ⁶ all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as ^(L)the ^[b]Brook Misrephoth, and all the Sidonians—them ^(M)I will drive out from before the children of Israel; only ^(N)divide^[c] it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you. ⁷ Now therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and half the tribe of Manasseh.”

The Land Divided East of the Jordan

⁸ With the other half-tribe the Reubenites and the Gadites received their inheritance, ^(O)which Moses had given them, ^(P)beyond the Jordan eastward, as Moses the servant of the Lord had given them: ⁹ from Aroer which is on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that is in the midst of the ravine, ^(Q)and all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon; ^10 (R)all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon, as far as the border of the children of Ammon; ^11 (S)Gilead, and the border of the Geshurites and Maachathites, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan as far as Salcah; ¹² all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of ^(T)the remnant of the giants; ^(U)for Moses had ^[d]defeated and ^[e]cast out these.

¹³ Nevertheless the children of Israel ^(V)did not drive out the Geshurites or the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

^14 (W)Only to the tribe of Levi he had given ^[f]no inheritance; the sacrifices of the Lord God of Israel made by fire are their inheritance, ^(X)as He said to them.

The Land of Reuben

^15 (Y)And Moses had given to the tribe of the children of Reuben an inheritance according to their families. ¹⁶ Their territory was ^(Z)from Aroer, which is on the bank of the River Arnon, ^(AA)and the city that is in the midst of the ravine, ^(AB)and all the plain by Medeba; ^17 (AC)Heshbon and all its cities that are in the plain: Dibon, Bamoth Baal, Beth Baal Meon, ^18 (AD)Jahaza, Kedemoth, Mephaath, ^19 (AE)Kirjathaim, ^(AF)Sibmah, Zereth Shahar on the mountain of the valley,

The Treaty with the Gibeonites

9 And it came to pass when ^(A)all the kings who were on this side of the Jordan, in the hills and in the lowland and in all the coasts of ^(B)the Great Sea toward Lebanon—^(C)the Hittite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—heard about it,

¹⁷ Then the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of the Lord stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; ^(A)and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.

^3 (A)Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given you, as I said to Moses. ^4 (B)From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.

²³ then the Lord will ^(A)drive out all these nations from before you, and you will ^(B)dispossess greater and mightier nations than yourselves. ^24 (C)Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: ^(D)from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the River Euphrates, even to the ^[a]Western Sea, shall be your territory.

⁴ And command the people, saying, ^(A)“You are about to pass through the territory of ^(B)your brethren, the descendants of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. Therefore watch yourselves carefully.
