Joshua 11:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ He ·fought [waged war] against them for ·many years [a long time; ^Lmany days]. ¹⁹ The people of only one city in all the land had made a peace ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with Israel—the Hivites living in Gibeon. All the other cities were defeated in war. ²⁰ The Lord ·made those people stubborn [^Lhardened their hearts; Ex. 8:15] so they would fight against Israel and ·he could completely destroy them [would be devoted to destruction; 2:10; 6:17] without mercy. This is what the Lord had commanded Moses to do.
