Joshua 11:16-20

English Standard Version

¹⁶ So Joshua took all that land, ^(A)the hill country and all the Negeb and ^(B)all the land of Goshen ^(C)and the lowland ^(D)and the Arabah ^(E)and the hill country of Israel and its lowland ^17 (F)from Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir, as far as ^(G)Baal-gad in the Valley of Lebanon below ^(H)Mount Hermon. And he captured ^(I)all their kings and struck them and put them to death. ¹⁸ Joshua made war ^(J)a long time with all those kings. ¹⁹ There was not a city that made peace with the people of Israel except ^(K)the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. They took them all in battle. ²⁰ For it was the Lord's doing ^(L)to harden their hearts that they should come against Israel in battle, in order that they should be devoted to destruction and should receive no mercy but be destroyed, ^(M)just as the Lord commanded Moses.
