³⁸ Then Joshua and all Israel with him turned around and attacked Debir.^{(A) 39} They took the city, its king and its villages, and put them to the sword. Everyone in it they totally destroyed. They left no survivors. They did to Debir and its king as they had done to Libnah and its king and to Hebron.^(B)

²¹ At that time Joshua went and destroyed the Anakites^(A) from the hill country: from Hebron, Debir^(B) and Anab,^(C) from all the hill country of Judah, and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua totally destroyed them and their towns.
