16
So Joshua took all that land, the mountains and all the
region of the Negev and all the land of Goshen and the valleys and the plains and the mountain of Israel and its valleys.
17
Even from Mount Halak that goes up unto Seir unto Baalgad in the plains of Lebanon at the roots of Mount Hermon; likewise he took all their kings and smote them and slew them.
18
Joshua made war many days with all those kings.
19
There was not a city that made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon; they took all
the others in battle.
20
For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, that he might destroy them utterly
and that they might have no mercy, but that he might destroy them, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
21
Also at the same time Joshua came and cut off the Anakims from the mountains, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel; Joshua destroyed them utterly with their cities.
22
There were none of the Anakims left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, there remained.
23
So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had said unto Moses; and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.
