Joshua 10:39-41

Contemporary English Version

³⁹ They captured the town, and its nearby villages. Then they destroyed Debir and killed its king, together with everyone else, just as they had done with Hebron and Libnah.

⁴⁰ Joshua captured towns everywhere in the land: In the central hill country and the foothills to the west, in the Southern Desert and the region that slopes down toward the Dead Sea. Whenever he captured a town, he would kill the king and everyone else, as the Lord God of Israel had commanded. ⁴¹ Joshua wiped out towns from Kadesh-Barnea to Gaza, everywhere in the region of Goshen,^[a] and as far north as Gibeon.
