36 Joshua along with all Israel went up from Eglon to Hebron and attacked it.
37 They captured it and struck it down without mercy, along with its king, all its towns, and everyone in it. He left no survivors, just exactly as he had done to Eglon. He wiped out the city and everyone in it as something reserved for God.
38 Joshua along with all Israel turned back to Debir and attacked it.
39 He captured it along with its king and all its cities. They struck them down without mercy and wiped out everyone in it as something reserved for God. He left no survivors. Exactly as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king—exactly as he had done to Libnah and its king.
40 So Joshua struck at the whole land: the highlands, the arid southern plains, the lowlands, the slopes, and all their kings. He left no survivors. He wiped out everything that breathed as something reserved for God, exactly as the Lord, the God of Israel, had commanded.
41 Joshua struck them down from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and the whole land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.
42 Joshua captured all these kings and their land all at the same time. This was because the Lord, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
