8 And the Lord delivered them into the hand of Israel, who defeated them and chased them to1 Greater aSidon, to the Brook bMisrephoth, and to the Valley of Mizpah eastward; they attacked them until they left none of them remaining.
9 So Joshua did to them as the Lord had told him: he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots with fire.
10 Joshua turned back at that time and took Hazor, and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor was formerly the head of all those kingdoms.
11 And they struck all the people who were in it with the edge of the sword, autterly destroying them. There was none left bbreathing. Then he burned Hazor with fire.
12 So all the cities of those kings, and all their kings, Joshua took and struck with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed them, aas Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded.
13 But as for the cities that stood on their1 mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only, which Joshua burned.
14 And all the aspoil of these cities and the livestock, the children of Israel took as booty for themselves; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left none breathing.
15 aAs the Lord had commanded Moses his servant, so bMoses commanded Joshua, and cso Joshua did. He left nothing undone of all that the Lord had commanded Moses.
Summary of Joshua’s Conquests
16 Thus Joshua took all this land: athe mountain country, all the South, ball the land of Goshen, the lowland, and the Jordan1 plain—the mountains of Israel and its lowlands,
17 afrom1 Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, even as far as Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured ball their kings, and struck them down and killed them.
18 Joshua made war a long time with all those kings.
19 There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except athe Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the others they took in battle.
20 For ait was of the Lord to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, bas the Lord had commanded Moses.
21 And at that time Joshua came and cut off athe Anakim from the mountains: from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.
22 None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; they remained only ain Gaza, in Gath, band in Ashdod.
23 So Joshua took the whole land, aaccording to all that the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel baccording to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land crested from war.
