Joshua 11:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version

16 So Joshua took all this land: the hill country,[a] all the Negev,[b] all the land of Goshen,[c] the Shephelah,[d] the Arabah,[e] the mountainous region of Israel and its foothills, 17 from Mount Halak that rises to Seir, as far as Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings. He struck them and put them to death. 18 For many days[f] Joshua made war with all these kings.
