31 And Joshua passed from Libnah and all Israel with him unto Lachish and encamped against it and fought against it;
32 and the Lord delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day and smote it with the edge of the sword and all the souls that were therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah.
33 Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to help Lachish, and Joshua smote him and his people until none of them were left.
34 And from Lachish Joshua passed unto Eglon and all Israel with him, and they encamped against it and fought against it;
35 and they took it that same day and smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls that were in it he utterly destroyed that same day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.
36 And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, unto Hebron; and they fought against it;
37 and they took it and smote it with the edge of the sword, and the king thereof and all the cities thereof and all the souls that were in it; he left no one remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon, but destroyed it utterly and all the souls that were therein.
