Joshua 11:16–23

Summary of Joshua’s Conquests

¹⁶Thus Joshua took all this land: ^uthe mountain country, all the South, ^vall the land of Goshen, the lowland, and the Jordan ⁶plain—the mountains of Israel and its lowlands, ^17wfrom ⁷Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, even as far as Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon below Mount Hermon. He captured ^xall their kings, and struck them down and killed them. ¹⁸Joshua made war a long time with all those kings. ¹⁹There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except ^ythe Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the others they took in battle. ²⁰For ^zit was of the Lord ⁸to 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, ^aas the Lord had commanded Moses.

²¹And at that time Joshua came and cut off ^bthe 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. ²²None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; they remained only ^cin Gaza, in Gath, ^dand in Ashdod.

²³So Joshua took the whole land, ^eaccording to all that the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel ^faccording to their divisions by their tribes. Then the land ^grested from war.
