Joshua 10:27-40

²⁷And when the sun went down, he commanded to fellows, that they should put them down from the gibbets; and when they were put down, they casted forth them into the den, in which they were hid; and they putted great stones on the mouth thereof, which stones dwell till to the present time.

²⁸In the same day, Joshua took Makkedah, and smote by the sharpness of sword, and killed the king thereof, and all the dwellers thereof; he left not therein, namely, little relics; and he did to the king of Makkedah, as he had done to the king of Jericho.

²⁹And Joshua passed with all Israel from Makkedah into Libnah, and he fought against it,

³⁰which city the Lord betook, with the king thereof, in the hand of Israel; and men of Israel smote that city by the sharpness of sword, and all the dwellers thereof, and they left not therein anything of value, or relics; and they did to the king of Libnah as they had done to the king of Jericho.

³¹From Libnah, Joshua passed with all Israel, into Lachish; and when the host was ordained by compass, he fought against it.

³²And the Lord betook Lachish in the hand of the sons of Israel; and Joshua took Lachish in the second day, and smote by the sharpness of sword, and each man, that was therein, as he had done to Libnah.

³³In that time, Horam, king of Gezer, went up to help Lachish; whom Joshua smote, with all his people, till to the death.

³⁴And Joshua passed from Lachish into Eglon, and compassed it, and overcame it in the same day;

³⁵and he smote by the sharpness of sword all men that were therein, by all things that he had done to Lachish.

³⁶Also Joshua went up with all Israel from Eglon into Hebron, and he fought against Hebron,

³⁷and he took, and smote it by the sharpness of sword; and the king thereof, and all the cities of that country, and all men that dwelled therein; he left not any things of value, or relics, therein; as he had done to Eglon so he did also to Hebron, and wasted by sword all things that were therein.

³⁸From thence Joshua turned into Debir, and took, and wasted it;

³⁹and he smote by sharpness of sword the king thereof, and all the towns about it; and he left not any things of value, or relics, therein; as he had done to Hebron, and to Libnah, and to their kings, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof.

⁴⁰And so Joshua smote all the land of the hills or all the mountain land, and of the south, and of the field, and Ashdod, with their kings; he left not therein any relics, but he killed all thing that might breath, as the Lord God of Israel commanded to him;
