Joshua 10:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ but don't stay there yourselves. Keep on after the enemy and attack them from the rear; don't let them get to their cities! The Lord your God has given you victory over them.” ²⁰ Joshua and the men of Israel slaughtered them, although some managed to find safety inside their city walls and were not killed. ²¹ Then all of Joshua's men came back safe to him at the camp at Makkedah.

No one in the land dared even to speak against the Israelites.
