11 And when Jabin, king of Hazor, had heard this, then he sent to Jobab, king of Madon, and to the king of Shimron, and to the king of Achshaph,
2 and to the kings who were by the north, in the mountains and plains, toward the south side of Chinneroth, and in the valleys, and in the borders of Dor, westward,
3 to the Canaanites (to the east and to the west), and to the Amorites, and Hittites, and Perizzites, and Jebusites in the mountains, and to the Hivites, under Hermon, in the land of Mizpah.
4 And they came out, and all their armies with them, many people, as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with horses and chariots, exceedingly many.
5 So all these kings met together, and came and camped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.
6 Then the LORD said to Joshua, “Do not be afraid of them. For tomorrow, about this time, I will deliver them all, dead, before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.”
7 Then came Joshua (and all the men of war with him) against them, by the waters of Merom, and fell upon them suddenly.
8 And the LORD gave them into the hand of Israel. And they struck them and chased them to the great Sidon, and to Misrephoth, and to the valley of Mizpah, eastward, and struck them until none of them remained.
9 And Joshua did to them as the LORD had Commanded. He hamstrung their horses and burnt their chariots with fire.
10 Also at that time, Joshua turned back and took Hazor and struck its king with the sword. For Hazor had previously been the head of all those kingdoms.
11 Moreover, they struck and utterly destroyed all its people with the edge of the sword, leaving no one alive. And he burnt Hazor with fire.
12 So Joshua took all the cities of those kings, and all those kings, and struck them with the edge of the sword, utterly destroying them, as Moses, the servant of the LORD, had commanded.
13 But Israel burnt none of the cities that stood firm in their strength. The lone exception was Hazor, which Joshua burnt.
14 And the children of Israel took all the spoil of these cities and their cattle as plunder. But they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, not leaving anyone alive.
15 As the LORD had Commanded Moses, His servant, so did Moses command Joshua, and so did Joshua. He left nothing undone of all that the LORD had Commanded Moses.
16 So Joshua took all this land of the mountains, and all the south, and all the land of Goshen, and the low country, and the plain, and the mountain of Israel, and the low country of the same,
17 from Mount Halak (which goes up to Seir) to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon, under Mount Hermon. And he took all their kings and struck them, and killed them.
18 Joshua made war with all those kings for a long time.
19 Nor was there any city that made peace with the children of Israel, except those Hivites who inhabited Gibeon. All others they took by battle.
20 For it came from the LORD to harden their hearts, so that they would come against Israel in battle, intending to utterly destroy them, showing them no mercy. But that they would bring them to nothing, as the LORD had Commanded Moses.
21 And Joshua came that same season and destroyed the Anakims out of the mountains, out of Hebron, out of Debir, out of Anab, and out of all the mountains of Judah, and out of all the mountains of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them, with their cities.
22 There was no Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel. They were only left in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod.
23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the LORD had said to Moses. And Joshua gave it for an inheritance to Israel, according to their portions, through their tribes. Then the land was at rest without war.
12 And these are the kings of the land which the children of Israel struck, whose land they possessed on the other side of Jordan, toward the rising of the Sun, from the river Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the plain, eastward.
2 Sihon, king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, having dominion from Aroer (which is beside the river of Arnon) and from the middle of the valley to the river Jabbok (on the border of the children of Ammon), which is half of Gilead.
3 And in the plain: to the Sea of Chinneroth, eastward, to the Sea of the Plain, to the Salt Sea, eastward (the way to Beth Jeshimoth) and in the south to just under the Springs of Pisgah.
4 They also conquered the territory of Og, king of Bashan, of the remnant of the giants, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,
5 and reigned in Mount Hermon and in Salcah and in all Bashan, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites and half Gilead, to the border of Sihon, king of Heshbon.
6 Moses, the servant of the LORD, and the children of Israel struck them. Also, Moses, the servant of the LORD, gave their land for a possession to the Reubenites and to the Gadites and to half the tribe of Manasseh.
7 These, also, are the kings of the country whom Joshua and the children of Israel struck on this side of Jordan, westward, from Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir. And Joshua gave it to the tribes of Israel for a possession, according to their portions:
8 in the mountains and in the valleys and in the plains and in the hillsides and in the wilderness and in the South, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

11 And so it was when He went to Jerusalem, that He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.
12 And as He entered into a certain town, ten leprous men met Him there, who stood at a distance.
13 And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus! Master! Have mercy on us!”
14 And when He saw, He said to them, “Go. Show yourselves to the priests.” And it happened that as they went, they were cleansed.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice praised God,
16 and fell down on his face at His feet and gave him thanks. And he was a Samaritan.
17 And Jesus answered, and said, “Are there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine?
18 “There is no one found who returned to give God praise, except this stranger?”
19 And He said to him, “Arise. Go your way. Your faith has saved you.”
20 And when He was asked by the Pharisees when the Kingdom of God would come, He answered them, and said, “The Kingdom of God does not come with observation.
21 “Nor shall they say, ‘Lo, here!’ or ‘Lo, there!’ For behold, the Kingdom of God is within you.”
22 And He said to the disciples, “The days will come when you shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you shall not see it.
23 “Then they shall say to you, ‘Behold here!’or ‘Behold there!’ Do not go there or follow them.
24 “For as the lightning that flashes out of one part of Heaven, shines into another part of Heaven, so shall the Son of Man be on His day.
25 “But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation.
26 “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the days of the Son of Man.
27 “They ate, they drank, they married wives and gave in marriage, until the day that Noah went into the Ark. And the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 “Also, as it was in the days of Lot. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built.
29 “But on the day that Lot went out of Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from Heaven, and destroyed them all.
30 “So shall it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
31 “On that day, the one who is upon the house (and his stuff in the house), let him not come down to take it out. And likewise, the one who is in the field, let him not turn back to that which he left behind.
32 “Remember Lot’s wife.
33 “Whoever will seek to save his soul, shall lose it. And whoever shall lose it, shall preserve it.
34 “I tell you, on that night there shall be two in one bed. The one shall be received, and the other shall be left.
35 “Two women shall be grinding together. The one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
36 “Two shall be in the field. One shall be received, and another shall be left.”
37 And they answered, and said to Him, “Where, Lord?” And He said to them, “Wherever the body is, there also shall the birds of prey be gathered together.”
84 O LORD of Hosts, how lovely are Your Tabernacles!
2 My soul longs, indeed, and fainted for the courts of the LORD! My heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God!
3 Indeed, the sparrow has found a house, and the swallow a nest for her; where she may lay her young by Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in Your House. They will ever praise You. Selah.
5 Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, in whose heart are Your ways.
6 They, going through the valley of Baca, make wells therein. The rain also covers the pools.
7 They go from strength to strength, until every one appears before God in Zion.
8 O, LORD God of Hosts, hear my prayer! Give ear, O God of Jacob! Selah.
9 Behold, O God Our Shield, and look upon the face of Your Anointed.
10 For a day in Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the House of my God than to dwell in the tabernacles of wickedness.
11 For the LORD God is the Sun and Shield. The LORD will give grace and glory; and He will withhold no good thing from those who walk uprightly.
12 O, LORD of Hosts, blessed is the man who trusts in You. To him who excels: A Psalm committed to the sons of Korah
5 A righteous man hates lying words. But the wicked causes slander and shame.
6 Righteousness preserves the upright in life. But wickedness overthrows the sinner.
