1Just as the LORD had commanded Moses his servant,
2so Moses commanded Joshua,
3and so Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
16
So Joshua took all that land,
4the hill country and all the Negeb and
5all the land of Goshen
6and the lowland
7and the Arabah
8and the hill country of Israel and its lowland
17
9from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as
10Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon below
11Mount Hermon. And he captured
12all their kings and struck them and put them to death.
18
Joshua made war
13a long time with all those kings.
19
There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel except
14the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took them all in battle.
20
For it was the LORD's doing
15to 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,
16just as the LORD commanded Moses.
21
And Joshua came at that time and cut off
17the 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.
22
There was none of the Anakim left in the land of the people of Israel. Only in Gaza,
18in Gath, and in Ashdod did some remain.
23
So Joshua took the whole land,
19according to all that the LORD had spoken to Moses.
20And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel
21according to their tribal allotments. And the land had rest from war.
