Joshua 10:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ As for you, do not stop pursuing your enemies, but attack them from behind. Do not let them go back to their cities, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.”

²⁰ When Joshua and the children of Israel had finished striking them with overwhelming force until they were completely defeated, the survivors escaped from them and went back to their fortified cities. ²¹ Then all the people returned safely to Joshua at the Makkedah settlement, and no one spoke against any of the children of Israel.
