Joshua 11:16-23

16 So Joshua took all that land: ^athe hill country and all the ^{▼▼I.e., South country}Negev, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, ^cthe Arabah, the hill country of Israel and its lowland 17 from ^dMount Halak, that rises toward Seir, even as far as Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon ^{▼▼Lit under}at the foot of Mount Hermon. And he captured ^fall their kings, and struck them and put them to death. 18 Joshua waged war a long time with all these kings. 19 There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except ^gthe Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle. 20 ^hFor it was of the Lord to ^{▼▼Lit make strong}harden their hearts, to meet Israel in battle in order that he might ^jutterly destroy them, that they might ^{▼▼Lit have}receive no mercy, but that he might destroy them, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

21 Then Joshua came at that time and eliminated ^lthe Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and from all the hill country of Judah and all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities. 22 There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, ^mGath, and ⁿAshdod some remained. 23 So Joshua took the whole land, in accordance with everything that the Lord had spoken to Moses; and ^oJoshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. ^pSo the land was at rest from war.
