That same day Joshua captured and destroyed the town of Makkedah.
He killed everyone in it, including the king, leaving no survivors. He destroyed them all, and he killed the king of Makkedah as he had killed the
king of Jericho.
Then Joshua and the Israelites went to Libnah and attacked it. There, too,
the Lord gave them the town and its king. He killed everyone in it, leaving no survivors. Then Joshua killed the king of Libnah as he had killed
the king of Jeric ho.
From Libnah, Joshua and the Israelites went to Lachish and attacked it.
Here again, the Lord gave them Lachish. Joshua took it on the second day
and killed everyone in it, just as he had done at Libnah. During the attack
on Lachish, King Horam of Gezer arrived with his army to help defend
the town. But Joshua’s men killed him and his army, leaving no survivors.
Then Joshua and the Israelite army went on to Eglon and attacked it. They
captured it that day and killed everyone in it. He completely destroyed
everyone, just as he had done at Lachish.
From Eglon, Joshua and the Israelite army went up to Hebron and attacked
it. They captured the town and killed everyone in it, including its king,
leaving no survivors. They did the same thing to all of its surrounding
villages. And just as he had done at Eglon, he completely destroyed the
entire population.
Then Joshua and the Israelites turned back and attacked Debir. He captured the town, its king, and all of its surrounding villages. He completely
destroyed everyone in it, leaving no survivors. He did to Debir and its king
just what he had done to Hebron and to Libnah and its king.
So Joshua conquered the whole region—the kings and people of the hill
country, the Negev, the western foothills, and the mountain slopes. He
completely destroyed everyone in the land, leaving no survivors, just as
the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded. Joshua slaughtered them
from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza and from the region around the town of
Goshen up to Gibeon. Joshua conquered all these kings and their land
in a single campaign, for the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for
his people.
Then Joshua and the Israelite army returned to their camp at Gilgal.
