34
And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped
against it, and fought against it:
35
And they took it on that day, and smote it with the edge of the
sword, and all the souls that
were
therein he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had
done to Lachish.
36
And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they
fought against it:
37
And they took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof,
and all the cities thereof, and all the souls that
were
therein; he left none remaining, according to
all that he had done to Eglon; but destroyed it utterly, and all the souls that
were
therein.
38
And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and fought against it:
39
And he took
it, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof; and they smote them with the edge of the sword,
and utterly destroyed all the souls that
were
therein; he left none remaining: as he had done to
Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to the king thereof; as he had done also to Libnah, and to her king.
40
So Joshua smote all the country of the hills, and of the south, and of the vale, and of the
springs, and all their kings: he left none remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the
L
ORD
God of Israel commanded.

And Joshua smote them from Kadesh-barnea even unto Gaza,
and all the country of Goshen, even unto Gibeon.

take at one time, because the L

Israel with him, unto the camp to Gilgal.
CHAPTER 11
And it came to pass, when Jabin king of Hazor had heard
those things,
that he sent to Jobab king
of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2
And to the kings that
were
on the north of the mountains, and of the plains south of Chinneroth, and in the valley, and in the
borders of Dor on the west,
3
And to
the Canaanite on the east and on the west, and
to
the Amorite,
and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Jebusite in the mountains, and
to
the Hivite under Hermon
in the land of Mizpeh.
4
And they went out, they and all their hosts with them, much people, even
as the sand that
is
upon the sea shore in multitude, with horses and chariots very many.
5
And when
all these kings were met together, they came and pitched together at the waters of Merom, to fight
against Israel.
6
And the L
ORD
said unto Joshua, Be not afraid because of them: for to morrow about this time
will I deliver them up all slain before Israel: thou shalt hough their horses, and burn their chariots
with fire.
7
So Joshua came, and all the people of war with him, against them by the waters of
Merom suddenly; and they fell upon them.
8
And the L
ORD
delivered them into the hand of Israel,
who smote them, and chased them unto great Zidon, and unto Misrephoth-maim, and unto the
valley of Mizpeh eastward; and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.
9
And Joshua
did unto them as the L
ORD
bade him: he houghed their horses, and burnt their chariots with fire.
10
And Joshua at that time turned back, and took Hazor, and smote the king thereof with the
sword: for Hazor beforetime was the head of all those kingdoms.
11
And they smote all the souls
