²² And they went up through the South and came to ^(A)Hebron; Ahiman, Sheshai, and Talmai, the descendants of ^(B)Anak, were there. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

²⁸ Nevertheless the ^(A)people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of ^(B)Anak there.

³³ There we saw the ^[a]giants (^(A)the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were ^(B)like^[b] grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were ^(C)in their sight.”

²¹ And at that time Joshua came and cut off ^(A)the 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.

²² None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; they remained only ^(A)in Gaza, in Gath, ^(B)and in Ashdod.
