Joshua 10:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ but do not stay there yourselves; pursue your enemies, and attack them from the rear. Do not let them enter their towns, for the Lord your God has given them into your hand.” ²⁰ When Joshua and the Israelites had finished inflicting a very great slaughter on them, until they were wiped out, and when the survivors had entered into the fortified towns, ²¹ all the people returned safe to Joshua in the camp at Makkedah; no one dared to speak^[a] against any of the Israelites.
