Joshua 11:16-23

English Standard Version

¹⁶So Joshua took all that land, ^(A)the hill country and all the Negeb and ^(B)all the land of Goshen ^(C)and the lowland ^(D)and the Arabah ^(E)and the hill country of Israel and its lowland ¹⁷^(F)from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as ^(G)Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon below ^(H)Mount Hermon. And he captured ^(I)all their kings and struck them and put them to death. ¹⁸Joshua made war ^(J)a long time with all those kings. ¹⁹There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel except ^(K)the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took them all in battle. ²⁰For it was the Lord's doing ^(L)to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be devoted to destruction and should receive no mercy but be destroyed, ^(M)just as the Lord commanded Moses.

²¹And Joshua came at that time and cut off ^(N)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 devoted them to destruction with their cities. ²²There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel. Only in Gaza, ^(O)in Gath, and in Ashdod did some remain. ²³So Joshua took the whole land, ^(P)according to all that the Lord had spoken to Moses. ^(Q)And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel ^(R)according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war.
