Joshua:10:24-43
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And it came to pass ,
when they brought out those kings unto Joshua ,
that Joshua called for all the men of Israel ,
and said unto the captains of the men of war which went with him ,
Come near ,
put your feet upon the necks of these kings .
And they came near ,
and put their feet upon the necks of them .
*
And Joshua said unto them ,
Fear not ,
nor be dismayed ,
be strong and of good courage :
for thus shall the LORD do to all your enemies against whom ye fight .
*
And afterward Joshua smote them ,
and slew them ,
and hanged them on five trees :
and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening .
*
And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun ,
that Joshua commanded ,
and they took them down off the trees ,
and cast them into the cave wherein they had been hid ,
and laid great stones in the cave '
s mouth ,
which remain until this very day .
*
And that day Joshua took Makkedah ,
and smote it with the edge of the sword ,
and the king thereof he utterly destroyed ,
them ,
and all the souls that were therein ;
he let none remain :
and he did to the king of Makkedah as he did unto the king of Jericho .
*
Then Joshua passed from Makkedah ,
and all Israel with him ,
unto Libnah ,
and fought against Libnah :
*
And the LORD delivered it also ,
and the king thereof ,
into the hand of Israel ;
and he smote it with the edge of the sword ,
and all the souls that were therein ;
he let none remain in it ;
but did unto the king thereof as he did unto the king of Jericho .
*
And Joshua passed from Libnah ,
and all Israel with him ,
unto Lachish ,
and encamped against it ,
and fought against it :
*
And the LORD delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel ,
which took it on the second day ,
and smote it with the edge of the sword ,
and all the souls that were therein ,
according to all that he had done to Libnah .
*
Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish ;
and Joshua smote him and his people ,
until he had left him none remaining .
*
And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon ,
and all Israel with him ;
and they encamped against it ,
and fought against it :
*
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 .
*
And Joshua went up from Eglon ,
and all Israel with him ,
unto Hebron ;
and they fought against it :
*
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 .
*
And Joshua returned ,
and all Israel with him ,
to Debir ;
and fought against it :
*
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 .
*
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 LORD God of Israel commanded .
*
And Joshua smote them from Kadeshbarnea even unto Gaza ,
and all the country of Goshen ,
even unto Gibeon .
*
And all these kings and their land did Joshua take at one time ,
because the LORD God of Israel fought for Israel .
*
And Joshua returned ,
and all Israel with him ,
unto the camp to Gilgal .
