Joshua 10:38

Verse 38 of 43. The 10th of 24 chapters in Joshua, in History.

34Joshua passed from Lachish, and all Israel with him, to Eglon; and they encamped against it and fought against it.

35They took it on that day, and struck it with the edge of the sword. He utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

36Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.

37They took it, and struck it with the edge of the sword, with its king and all its cities, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining, according to all that he had done to Eglon; but he utterly destroyed it, and all the souls who were in it.

38Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir, and fought against it.

39He took it, with its king and all its cities. They struck them with the edge of the sword, and utterly destroyed all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining. As he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir, and to its king; as he had done also to Libnah, and to its king.

40So Joshua struck all the land, the hill country, the South, the lowland, the slopes, and all their kings. He left no one remaining, but he utterly destroyed all that breathed, as the LORD, the God of Israel, commanded.

41Joshua struck them from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.

42Joshua took all these kings and their land at one time because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.
