Joshua 10:40

38 Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to ^aDebir; and they fought against it.

39 And he took it and its king and all its cities; they struck them with the edge of the sword and utterly destroyed all the people who were in it. He left none remaining; as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king, as he had done also to Libnah and its king.

40 So Joshua conquered all the land: the ^amountain country and the South and the lowland and the wilderness slopes, and ^ball their kings; he left none remaining, but ^cutterly destroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded.

41 And Joshua conquered them from ^aKadesh Barnea as far as ^bGaza, ^cand all the country of Goshen, even as far as Gibeon.

42 All these kings and their land Joshua took at one time, ^abecause the Lord God of Israel fought for Israel.

43 Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

Joshua 10:40

All the country of the hills - See the note on Deuteronomy 1:7.

Destroyed all that breathed - Every person found in arms who continued to resist; these were all destroyed, - those who submitted were spared: but many no doubt made their escape, and afterwards reoccupied certain parts of the land. See Joshua 10:36, Joshua 10:37.
